- 1 oz Jamaican Dark Rum Myers give this cocktail deep notes of molasses.

- 1 oz Banana Liqueur Tempus Fugit Creme de Banane is a tiki bar staple
- 1 oz Pineapple Juice Fresh pressed and strained

- 1/2 oz Grenadine Syrup or Pomegranate Juice Grenadine Syrup can be made with 1 part sugar and 1 part pomegranate juice simmered for 10 minutes with some orange peel. I prefer just the juice for this recipe, as it reduces the overall sweetness.

Notes
This recipe can be easily scaled up for a crowd. It may be made in advanced and stored in a closed glass or stainless steel container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I often use recycled liquor bottles with plastic screw on or cork lids. Cognac and Brandy bottles are a good choice.
