¾ 0z dark rum

¾ oz golden run

½ oz triple sec

¼ oz orgeat syrup

2 oz sweet and sour mix

HOW TO SHAKE A COCKTAIL

Fill the cocktail shaker half way ice and add the cocktail ingredients. Close the shaker firmly, and hold it with your right hand wrapped around the top and your left hand cradling the bottom. Raise the shaker over your shoulder and shake hard until the drink is chilled, 10 to 15 seconds. Strain it into a glass—a good shake will leave a layer of very fine ice shards on the surface of the drink

 

If you have a high speed blender, put everything in a blender ¼ filled with crushed ice. Blend for 5 seconds and pour over ice.
