Sparkling Pineapple Rum Cocktail

elixirforthesoul:

Schooner

Light Puerto Rican Rum - 1/2 oz

151-Proof Caribbean Rum - 1/2 oz

Port Wine - 2 oz

Papaya Juice - 1 1/2 oz

Lemon Juice - 1 oz

Lime Juice - 1 oz

Simple Syrup - 1 oz

Shake everything with crushed ice and pour into an old-fashioned glass, if necessary adding more ice to fill.

Served at the Four Winds restaurant, Seattle. Incorporating port into Tiki drinks is something that’s rarely done, but can work more than successfully when done right. 2 oz citrus juice to 1 oz syrup leaves a very sour taste, which is then cut down slightly by the papaya and port, and this, is my favour level of sourness. Port wine is the most noticeable of all, the rich grape flavour would stand on top of the citrus and the rums; papaya doesn’t really show up, it works more like a tool to blend everything nicely together than a major flavouring.

• For the port, you don’t need anything fancy or expensive, a regular ruby port will work great.
• Papaya juice or papaya nectar are both acceptable.
• 151-proof Caribbean rum suggests an overproof rum from the Caribbean (obviously), so either Bacardi or Cruzan will do.
