The Reef takes no prisoners! Tangy, fruity, and dangerously moreish.

so how do we make this better ? leave out the tasteless vodka, 55ml RUM (preferbly 6 yo + ), no grenadine, replace that with 15ml Falernum, and 20ml orgeat syrup then up the lime to a full lime at 22.5ml ... delicious.

Dial back the pineapple juice and grenadine to make it dryer and more interesting

A true and wonderful tiki drink. The flavours all work wonderfully together. We did back off the grenadine by 1/2 as it is sweet. If you like sweet tiki drinks, use the full amount. It is a great colour for serving at a summer event.
