I really like the idea of seeing and incorporating Rum and tiki cocktails with agave spirits. In this case, Stiggins Fancy Plantation Pineapple rum pairs with mezcal, providing a wonderful smoked sugar cane pineapple flavor. But it doesn't stop there. In addition, I incorporated two kinds of nutty flavors using Frangelico hazelnut liqueur and orgeat almond syrup along with Sarsaparilla root bitters (house-made) and Fresh lime juice. I hope you folks like it.

Ingredients:

• 3/4oz Stiggins fancy plantation pineapple rum
• 3/4oz Espiritu mezcal joven
• 3/4oz Fresh lime juice
• 3/4oz Frangelico hazelnut liqueur
• 3/4oz Orgeat almond syrup
• 5 dashes sarsaparilla bitters

Prep:

Place bamboo leaf into tiki style glass. Combine all ingredients into a mixing tin add ice and shake very well. Fine strain into glass and add crushed ice. Take cinnamon stick and torch. Serve and enjoy
