A Lonely Island Lost in the Middle of a Foggy Sea

A refreshingly funky riff on the coffee + Tiki classic cocktail Mr Bali Ha’i from Chicago’s Lost Lake 🏝☕️🍍 The grassy sugarcane notes of the unaged agricole mingle with the caramelized sugar notes of the aged Demerara rum and the molasses notes in the blackstrap rum to create an intriguing flavor base that works well with both the coffee flavors and the tropical pineapple and citrus. Delicious balance of tropical, bittersweet, and refreshing
1 oz Unaged Agricole Rhum (Rhum JM, Neisson, La Favorite, etc)
.75 oz Aged Demerara Rum (El Dorado 8 yr; Hamilton 86 Demerara, etc)
.25 oz Blackstrap Rum (Deep molasses flavors; Cruzan makes a nice bottle at a friendly price; great in Jungle Birds)
1 oz Fresh Pineapple Juice (Trader Joe’s makes decent non-fresh option)
.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice
.5 oz Coffee Liqueur (St George NOLA, Mr Black, etc)
.25 oz Rich Simple Syrup (2 volumes unrefined sugar of choice: 1 volume of water; stir until dissolved)
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with crushed ice. Garnish with a lime shell “island”
