Pikaki

Not exactly a tiki, it is very much in the tiki vein. Consider a dark rum and juice drink strained into an Old Fashioned glass and garnished with a baby pineapple quarter. It can only be explained by a lack of barware where the drink was being made. It's pretty good, but I would recommend cutting back on the grenadine to 1/2 tsp. to bring down the sweetness. It makes your teeth ache from the sugar in the original recipe. But if you do that, just serve it on ice in a tiki glass.
  • 1 1/2 oz. dark rum
  • 1 oz. orange juice
  • 3/4 oz. lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. grenadine
  • 1/4 baby pineapple
Combine all ingredients except pineapple in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled Old Fashioned. Garnish with pineapple.
