Gave me an opportunity to use some of my rum. Used Denizen 8 year and Lemon Hart 151. Omitted the sugar syrup entirely as our pineapple juice is very sweet.
Cocktail had a definite Caribbean hint and you could taste the rums. Perfect on a hot, late summer night.

did 50 ml malibu and 20 overproof room instead, subbed 7.5 ml simple syrup for 15 ml agave syrup, not sure what the heck i made but is damn good ;)

Mildly boozy but refreshing. This is a very good way to feature the funky Smith & Cross in a balanced way, though I used 1/4 oz. instead of 1/2 oz. and it was plenty. Was using Plantation 5 yr. instead of Bacardi, too.
