Cruel Sea Goes Public

Scott Noble of VenTiki Tiki Lounge & Lanai (VenTikiLounge.com) in Ventura created this custom cocktail to highlight Channel Islands Rum. (The cocktail is also available at the bar.)

INGREDIENTS

• 3 ounces channel islands rum
• ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice
• 2 ounces passionfruit syrup
• ½ ounce honey syrup*

INSTRUCTIONS

Put all ingredients into a martini shaker with ice, and shake to mix. Pour the entire contents of the shaker into a glass. Garnish with an orange triangle and maraschino cherry.

*To make honey syrup, put ¼ ounce of honey and ¼ ounce of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, just until honey has dissolved. Take off the heat and cool.

Editor’s Note: If Channel Islands Rum is not available, substitute another high-quality light rum.
