Review:

Dilution is key to this cocktail so either shake with crushed ice (as per the original recipe) or do as I do and add chilled water. Even then, to quote Victor Bergeron, "This'll tuck you away neatly - and pick you up and throw you right to the floor".

History:

Adapted from a recipe in Victor Bergeron's 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide.

1 ounce light Puerto Rican rum
1 ounce apricot brandy
1 ounce gin
1 teaspoon pineapple juice
1 teaspoon cherry brandy
Shake with ½ scoop shaved ice. Strain into a large saucer champagne glass.

Victor Bergeron, 1972
