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 sprig, orange 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.
