Spirit Recommendations

We recommend the 3-rum blend described below, but you can get by with a single rum as well. For the latter, we highly recommend a smooth and elegant aged rum (something you would enjoy sipping by itself): see Dos Maderas 5+3.

Dos Maderas 5+3 - First aged five years in the Caribbean inside American oak casks, then aged an additional three years in Spain inside 20-year sherry casks, the result is a very smooth vanilla aroma and unique flavor. It’s also easy to drink neat or on the rocks.

Banks 5 Island - Great for mixing, this white rum blends 20+ rums from (no surprise) five rum producing islands. If you’re unable to source Banks, Planteray is a good substitute, with rum from Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad.

Smith & Cross - A traditional high proof Jamaican rum, most people would enjoy a certain level of dilution to get the most out of it. That said, Smith & Cross really rounds out this rum blend and ratchets up the intensity of this cocktail to a Category 5.

Instructions

A cocktail layering tool may be used to accentuate the presentation by highlighting the ingredients' respective densities but is not required. Note that layering ingredients works better when they are chilled in advance.

1. In a slender carafe or preparation glass, layer ingredients in this order: 1 ¾ oz cranberry stock, 1 oz passion fruit stock, 1 oz orange juice, ½ oz lime juice, 2 ¼ oz rum*
2. To serve, pour the build over crushed ice

*if using the 3-rum blend, layer in this order: ¾ oz Dos Maderas, ¾ oz Banks 5 Island, ¾ oz Smith & Cross
