Tropical Itch
Picked this one up from a book by Beach Bum Berry who learned the recipe from Hawaiian Bartender, Harry Yee. The drink dates to around 1957. I whipped up a batch for a backyard barbeque this past summer. Ended up burning the chicken, but thanks to this drink, my guests loved it. One of those drinks you really should be sitting down and buckled up to enjoy.
Here we go –
- 8 oz passion fruit juice
- 1 ½ Bacardi 151 Rum
- ½ oz Orange Curacao
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 oz dark Rum
- 1 oz Bourbon
Fill a large glass or Tiki Mug with crushed ice, add all the ingredients and stir well. Garnish with pineapple, mint (add an orchid and a wooden back-scratcher if handy).
