Here´s a strong and spicy rum drink from Sippin´Safari, it was created at the Hawaiian Village motel and restaurant in Tampa in 1969 by chef Joe King Sui in true tiki style and ambiance back in the golden tiki days.
The drink is a mix of dark or aged Puerto Rican and Myers rums,vodka, pineapple, orange and and lime juices, passionfruit syrup and honey and blended with crushed ice.
I have changed it up a little bit though since i don`t have the exact rums, so i used Smith and Cross and Appleton Extra and a homemade vanilla flavored vodka and then all fresh juices.
It turned out a strong and spicy drink…
Then i made a variation of it and changed the Appleton for an aged rhum agricole and the vodka for a white rum, then switched orange juice for fresh grapefruit juice and added a dash of angostura bitters.
Turned out tasty as well.
