Trader Vic tweaked this one a lot as did Don The Beachcomber. Neither of
them originated the drink, but they took a lot of time perfecting it. The
version presented here is based on a recipe by Beachbum Berry. This is the
single serving version of the popular communal, bowl cocktail.

<hr>

<ul>
<li>2 oz light rum</li>
<li>1/2 oz. brandy or cognac</li>
<li>2 oz. fresh orange juice</li>
<li>1 oz. fresh lemon juice</li>
<li>1/2 oz. orgeat syrup</li>
<li>1/2 oz. dark rum as a float</li>
</ul>

Combine all the components except the dark rum in a shaker. Add ice and
shake vigorously. Pour over ice into a collins glass or tiki mug. Carefully
pour the dark rum into the glass -- it should float to the top. Garnish
with an orange wedge and a single straw.
