Garnish with a maraschino cherry, pineapple spear, and mint sprig.ĭonn Beach (born Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt in 1907 died in 1989) is a legend among bartenders. Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice, then float 1/2 ounce of 151-proof rum on top. 2 from 'The Joy of Mixology,' which he notes was adapted from Berry's 'Beachbum Berry's Grog Log' (2003): Combine 1 ounce dark rum, 1 1/2 ounces each of añejo and light rums, 3/4 ounce each of applejack, papaya nectar, and pineapple juice, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, and 1/2 ounce simple syrup and shake with ice.
Float 1/2 ounce of 151-proof dark rum on top (it can be added to the shaker or skipped entirely) and garnish with mint and seasonal fruits. Shake with ice and strain into a tall glass over fresh ice. To make it, combine 1 ounce each of light rum, dark rum, and orange curaçao with 1 1/2 ounces each of passion fruit purée or syrup and orange juice, 1/2 ounce each of fresh lemon and lime juices, 1/4 ounce of grenadine, and 2 dashes of aromatic bitters. It's generally best to strain the cocktail over fresh ice to avoid an overly diluted cocktail.
While the recipe doesn't indicate straining, shaking breaks down the ice. It's dissolved in the lime juice before the other ingredients are added. In the 1950 recipe from Berry's book, the original sweetener is 1 teaspoon brown sugar.
