Method
Prepare & Mix
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the light rum, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, orange curaçao, pineapple juice, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Add a handful of ice (enough to fill the shaker about halfway).
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and well-chilled.
Serve & Finish
Strain
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the glass over the crushed ice using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove any small ice shards and pulp.
Float dark rum
Gently pour the 1/4 oz dark rum over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top of the drink, creating a layered look and deeper rum aroma.
Add bitters
Top with 2 additional dashes of Angostura bitters, letting them settle on the foam/ice for aroma and visual contrast.
Garnish
Garnish with a sprig of mint (slap the mint between your palms to release the oils), a lime wheel or wedge, and an optional pineapple wedge on the rim.
Serve
Serve immediately with a short straw and enjoy.
