Ingredients
Method
- Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well. Strain over ice in rocks glass. Garnish with orange wheel and cherry.
Pro Tips
- Use fresh citrus juice - bottled juice lacks the bright acidity and aromatic oils
- Shake vigorously for 12-15 seconds until the shaker is frosted and very cold
- Use a large ice cube to minimize dilution while keeping the drink cold
- Part of the Tiki cocktail tradition - balance of rum, citrus, and exotic flavors is key
