Steps

  1. 1
    The three rums are not interchangeable — the layered character comes from using distinctly different styles, so do not substitute one for three measures of the same.
  2. 2
    Combine all the liquid ingredients in a blender with a cup of crushed ice.
  3. 3
    Flash blend for no more than 5 seconds. This is not a frozen drink; you want it chilled and aerated, not slushy.
  4. 4
    Pour unstrained into a tall tiki mug or chimney glass.
  5. 5
    Top with more crushed ice to fill.
  6. 6
    Garnish with a mint sprig slapped between the palms.
  7. 7
    Serve with a straw. The original bar limited customers to two, and it was not a joke.
