The final drink for this eve is the super classic Shrunken Skull. This drink was (and still is) a staple at mid-century tiki venues, especially Don the Beachcombers. It is a very flavorful drink, usually served in a tiki vessel like a skull, here it is served in a highball which does it much justice due to its bright red appearance. Took me a few sips to deduce the origin of the flavors on this one:
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz pomegranate syrup or grenadine
- 1 oz gold Puerto Rican rum
- 1 oz Demerara rum
Shake with ice cubes, pour unstrained into a mug. As you can imagine, it is a tangy sweet drink with a lot of kick to it. Definitely a solid tiki cocktail.
