TIKI WITH A TWIST by Allen Katz

1 oz. añejo rum

1 oz. light rum

1/2 oz. Jägermeister

1/2 oz. passion fruit puree

1 oz. fresh lime juice

1/2 oz. orgeat syrup*

1/2 oz. gomme syrup

Combine ingredients in an ice-filled shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into an ice-filled glass or tiki mug. Garnish with a brandied cherry, pineapple, and an edible flower. (*To make orgeat syrup, soak 1 lb. of blanched almonds in cold water for 30 minutes; drain, then crush or chop. Mix with 11/2 quarts water and let soak for 1 to 2 hours; strain through cheesecloth. Discard pulp. To strained almond water, add 11/2 lbs. of granulated sugar and cook over low heat until dissolved. Let stand 15 minutes, then add 3 oz. vodka and 2 Tbsp. orange or rose flower water. Allow to cool.)
