Tiki Torch Tease


  • Author: Jessica
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 oz spiced rum

  • 1 oz dark rum

  • ½ oz amaretto liqueur

  • 1 oz pineapple juice

  • 1 oz orange juice

  • ½ oz grenadine

  • ¼ oz fresh lime juice

  • Dash of bitters (optional, for added depth)

  • Crushed ice

For Garnish:

  • Orange slice

  • Maraschino cherry

  • Fresh mint sprig

💡 Tip: Use high-quality rums and fresh juices for the best flavor experience.


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Choose a tall tiki glass or a hurricane glass for the most authentic presentation. Fill it generously with crushed ice—this helps chill and slightly dilute the drink as you sip, just like traditional tiki cocktails.

Step 2: Mix the Cocktail

In a cocktail shaker, combine the following:

  • 1 oz spiced rum

  • 1 oz dark rum

  • ½ oz amaretto

  • 1 oz pineapple juice

  • 1 oz orange juice

  • ¼ oz fresh lime juice

  • Optional dash of bitters

Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well-chilled.

Step 3: Pour and Layer

Strain the mixture over the crushed ice in your prepared glass. Slowly pour ½ oz of grenadine over the top—it will settle beautifully at the bottom and create a stunning gradient effect.

Step 4: Garnish Like a Pro

Top the drink with a mint sprigorange slice, and maraschino cherry. For bonus tiki flair, you can even insert a tiny paper umbrella or flaming lime shell if you’re feeling extra.

Notes

The magic of the Tiki Torch Tease lies in its contrast: warm and spicy rum tones play against the cooling citrus, nutty amaretto, and rich grenadine base. Every sip starts bright and ends with a deep, smooth finish.
