Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1 oz White Rum; 0.5 oz Brandy; 1 oz Orange Juice; 1 oz Lemon Juice; 0.5 oz Orgeat Syrup; 0.5 oz Dark Rum; 0.33 oz Grenadine

Bright citrus and tropical fruit notes from orange and lemon are balanced by the sweet almond richness of orgeat, while a boozy backbone of white rum and brandy keeps it lively. It arrives as a crushed-ice highball crowned with a sorbet-like dark rum and grenadine float, making it visually layered and ideal for sipping on warm days.
