Three Dots & a Dash

Flavor profile: quintessential tiki—spicy, lightly sweet, and tropically complex with bright citrus and baking-spice notes.

Serves: 1 • Time: 3 minutes • Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 1½ oz rhum agricole
• ½ oz blended aged rum
• ¼ oz falernum
• ¼ oz allspice dram
• ½ oz honey syrup
• ½ oz fresh lime juice
• Dash Angostura bitters
• Optional: ~1 oz fresh orange juice (house spec)
• Ice

Garnish

• Three maraschino cherries on a pick (the “three dots”)
• 1 dehydrated pineapple piece/wheel (the “dash”)
• Mint sprig (optional)

Instructions

1. Add rhum agricole, aged rum, falernum, allspice dram, honey syrup, lime juice, bitters (and orange juice if using) to a shaker with ice. Give a quick stir.
2. Flash-blend briefly with a small scoop of ice (or shake hard for 10–12 seconds).
3. Pour into a footed pilsner or rocks glass filled with fresh crushed ice.
4. Garnish with three cherries on a pick and a dehydrated pineapple piece.

Tips & Variations

• Sweeter vs. drier: adjust honey syrup ±0.25 oz.
• Rum tweak: sub in Jamaican rum for extra funk or blackstrap for molasses richness.
• No blender: shake with crushed ice and dump into the glass.
