#44: Chief Lapu Lapu


     The Chief Lapu-Lapu, a well-loved drink among Grog Loggers.  And why not, as it's tasty, cool looking, and is named after an actual Filipino Chief Lapu Lapu who defeated Magellan in 1521.  This is a tall drink, with some classic tiki ingredients:

  • 3 oz orange juice
  • 2 oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 oz  sugar syrup (1 part sugar, 1 part water, boiled and chilled)
  • 1 oz passion fruit syrup
  • 1 1/2 oz dark Jamaican rum
  • 1 1/2 oz light Puerto Rican (or Virgin Islands) rum

Makes for a good sweet and tart combination.  Garnish with umbrella and fresh pineapple and you get a very satisfying cocktail.
