Death in the South Pacific

Death in the South Pacific, by Evan Martin of Chantanee, Seattle, WA. Winner of the 2010 Tales of the Cocktail Tiki Punch-up competition.

• 3/4 oz Appleton Extra Rum
• 3/4 oz Rhum Clement VSOP
• 1/2 oz Grand Marnier
• 1/3 oz B.G.Reynolds’ Orgeat
• 1/3 oz B.G.Reynolds’ Falernum
• 3 dashes Marteau Absinthe
• 1/2 oz Lime Juice
• 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
• 1/2 oz Grenadine
• 1/2 oz Cruzan Blackstrap Rum

Instructions:
Add all ingredients minus the grenadine and Cruzan Blackstrap to a Zombie shell glass and fill with crushed ice, swizzle to frost glass and then pour in grenadine. Overfill the glass with crushed ice and then pour in Cruzan Blackstrap.

For Garnish: Take a bamboo skewer and put a brandied cherry through at the very top followed by 1 pineapple leaf (insert through the middle) and then cut off skin from 1 large orange slice and then cut the strips in half. Insert the ends through the skewer having them hang on opposite sides of each other. Then insert the straw through the loop in the bamboo skewer. It should look like a guy hanging off of the drink (cherry=head, pineapple leaf= arms, citrus peel dangling away from each other are the legs)
