After Mai Tai Boogie Boarding, we all came back and had turkey and nibbles with more research. John had suggested we try Hana Bay Rum and found the light Hana Bay, Triple Sec, and Myer's Dark Jamaican Rum. We couldn't find the orgeat syrup, (Ahem, the name was quickly changed to orgasm, all good)so substituted 3 drops of almond extract, made a simple sugar syrup with raw sugar crystals. These were really good beverages. We made more and took them to a Karaoke studio and it all blended well with our song choices. We sang and chirped the night away. Very Fun!!!

Recipe:
1 oz Myer's Dark Jamaican rum
1 oz Hana Bay Light rum
1 oz Triple Sec
2 oz. Orange Juice
1/2 oz fresh grown Hawaiian Lime juice
drop of almond extract
1 oz simple sugar syrup
1 tbsp. grenadine
I like to layer the liquor and juices for appeal, and garnish with pineapple and maraschino cherry.
We used a golden thick bodied glass.
Enjoy!
Hana Bay is a pretty good Hawaiian rum, however it's a corporate brand and it is actually bottled in California. Check this out to find some truly Hawaiian Rums.
