There’s a variation of this called Skater On Crack, which is 30ml/1oz of Pineapple Rum, 30ml/1oz Pineapple juice, 30ml/1oz Jäegermeister, 22.5ml/0.75oz Lime juice and 22.5ml/0.75oz of simple syrup. And it is glorious.

Beautifully fruity! The Jägermeister adds backbone, but it does not turn into a herbal mess. I feel like it should be rated higher, even if it is rather simple.
