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 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.
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.
