buccaneer

1 1/2 oz Spiced Rum (Kraken)
1/2 oz Creme de Cacao (Marie Brizard)
3/4 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Falernum
1 dash Angostura Bitters

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with grated nutmeg.
After the Blood of My Enemies, we were still in a rum mood, so I turned to Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide 75th anniversary edition. There, I spotted the Buccaneer which seemed like an elegant Tiki drink. Once in the glass, the drink shared a nutmeg and lime aroma. The rum's caramel notes were countered by the lime's crispness on the sip, and the swallow presented rum, pineapple, and clove flavors.
