The Purple Tiki Cocktail by Tikimon

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Fresh lime Juice
  • 1 oz Grenadine (The real stuff)
  • 1/2 oz Pomegranate Juice
  • 1/2 oz Passoa (Passion Fruit Liqueur/Juice from Brazil 20% Alcohol)
  • 1/4 oz Blue Curacao
  • 8 Drops Pernod
  • 1 1/2 oz Gold Virgin Islands Rum
  • 1 1/2 oz Gold Aged Jamaican Rum
  • 6 oz crushed Ice

Garnish:

  • Lime wheel

Instructions:

Blend at high speed for 5 seconds. Pour, garnish w/cherry, slice of lemon and an umbrella and enjoy!

My simple recipe for real grenadine:

Equal amounts of simple syrup and pomegranate juice (Either POM brand or make your own from fresh pomegranates) Another source calls for 2 cups of bottled POM juice brought to a boil, add 2 cups sugar until dissolved. Sounds too sweet to me.

I make my simple syrup using demerara sugar, a bit more sugar than 1 to 1. Many use 2 to 1 sugar to water but I think it’s too sweet, more like rock candy syrup but, hey, to each his own.
