The history of this cocktail is a bit of a mystery. Jeff “Beach bum” Barry attributes it to other cocktail riffs centered around the popular 1950’s cannibal theme in tiki bars. Still others believe its from the Mai Kai bar in Ft Lauderdale, FL.
This is a fun one to play around with. Swap out the rums for a different drink each time. I went with the original specs with this one. If you make this, it is worth picking up a quality grenadine or making your own. Pomegranate juice and sugar is all you really need. It's easy to make. Another crowd pleaser you can shake up for your halloween party or any given day for a tasty sip. - Steve Cervantes
