Island Drift

When the weather turns warm and you need something that tastes like vacation in a glass, tiki drinks deliver. The Island Drift leans into orgeat's creamy almond sweetness while keeping things bright with fresh lime and a serious rum backbone. This one's built on two rums that work beautifully together. The aged Jamaican brings that funky, almost tropical fruit character, while the overproof adds the kind of boozy punch that makes tiki drinks so compelling. Orange curaçao deepens the tropical vibe, and those Peychaud's bitters sneak in just enough anise to play off the orgeat's natural almond-cherry notes. It's sweet and citrusy, but there's real depth here. The drink doesn't hide its alcohol, it showcases it. Mix one up when you're craving something that feels like a beach bar at sunset but still has some complexity. The garnish situation is admittedly extra, but that's half the fun of tiki drinks. Give it a shake and see where it takes you.
