Method
Cocktail
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with cracked or cubed ice.
Add 1 oz light rum, 1 oz spiced rum and 1/2 oz creme de banana to the shaker.
Pour in 2 oz fresh orange juice, 2 oz fresh pineapple juice and 1/2 oz fresh lime juice.
If you prefer a slightly sweeter, rounder finish, add 1/4 oz rich simple syrup. Add 1 dash Angostura bitters if desired for aromatic depth.
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy from the banana liqueur.
Fill a highball or tiki glass with fresh ice (if using crushed/cracked ice, pack lightly).
Double-strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass to remove small ice shards and any pulp.
Top briefly with a gentle stir to marry the juices and rums (no additional spirits required).
Garnish & Finish
Thread an orange wheel, pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry onto a cocktail pick or place them separately on the rim.
Optionally express a lime or orange peel over the drink to release essential oils, then drop it in.
Serve immediately with a straw. Enjoy chilled.
Equipment notes
Use fresh citrus for best flavor. If you do not have creme de banana, a banana liqueur with similar sweetness can be substituted but reduce simple syrup or omit to avoid cloying sweetness.
