Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 ounces Silver or White Rum (I used Plantation)
  • 3/4 ounce Amaretto (I used Disaronna)
  • 2 ounces freshly squeezed Orange Juice
  • 2 ounces fresh pressed Pineapple Juice
  • 2 ounces Sweet and Sour Mix, (also called Sour Mix), store bought or homemade (See NOTE Below for a Link to our Recipe), of choice
  • 1 ounce Grenadine store bought or homemade
  • Sierra Mist Lemon-Lime Soda (Sprite will also work) to fill
  • Cocktail Cherry for garnish
  • Orange Slice for garnish

Instructions

  • To an ice-filled shaker, add rum, amaretto, orange juice, pineapple juice and sweet and sour mix. Shake until well-chilled. Set aside.
  • Fill a tall glass with crushed ice. (Famous Dave's serves this drink in a Mason Jar. Not having a Mason Jar handy (I know, right??), I used a beer glass.)
  • Slowly pour the grenadine down the middle of the ice. Allow a few seconds for it to pool in the bottom of the glass before continuing.
  • Slowly strain the prepared rum/juice mixture into the glass. Stop about 1-inch short of the top if you have too much for the glass. (Just save the rest of the cocktail, if any, to add to the glass later.)
  • Slowly pour soda into the glass to fill to the top.
  • Garnish with cherry and orange slice.
  • Serve immediately, still layered, but with a straw or spoon so the drink's elements can be combined.
