Tiki Torch

Ingredients

  • 30 ml Dark rum
  • 30 ml White rum
  • 15 ml Orange curaçao
  • 22.5 ml Lime juice
  • 45 ml Pineapple juice
  • 10 ml Grenadine
  • Garnish Pineapple wedge, cherry

Preparation

  1. Shake all ingredients with ice.
  2. Strain into a tiki mug over crushed ice. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
  3. Garnish with pineapple wedge, cherry. A wedge is a thick, lengthwise slice — usually a quarter or eighth of the fruit.

Origin Story

The Tiki Torch cocktail is a product of the Tiki craze that swept the United States in the mid-20th century, inspired by Polynesian culture and tropical flavors. It embodies the vibrant, festive spirit of Tiki bars, often featuring rum and fruity juices as a nod to island life.
