1.5 oz light rum
.75 oz Cointreau
.75 oz orgeat syrup (this is a key ingredient and use a high quality product, like this one here)
3 oz orange juice
3 oz pineapple juice

Mix & shake all ingredients over ice in cocktail shaker, then strain into a tall glass full of crushed ice. Guaranteed the drink will taste better if it's in a tiki glass
Garnish with a maraschino cherry, and add some of the maraschino syrup.
Finally, float a bit of dark 151 rum AND regular dark rum on top but do not stir. I use Gosling's rums. Stick a straw in it and serve.

I do

1oz dark rum
1oz light rum
.5 oz orgeat
.5 oz agave syrup
.5 oz lime juice
.25 oz dry Cointreau

Then I triple that recipe to make two glasses. Shake all together and pour over ice. Throw in a luxardo cherry or three.
