1/2 oz Gosling's Rum
1/2 oz Aged Overproof Rum (1/4 oz Privateer Navy Yard + 1/4 oz Smith & Cross) (*)
3/4 oz Pineapple Juice
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Cane Syrup (Sirop JM)

Shake with ice and strain into a coupe glass.
(*) A personal communication with its creator indicated that this was Plantation Overproof.Two Sundays after my bar shift, I opened up the Bartender's Choice app and came across the Hawkeye that seemed like a refreshing drink to round out the evening. This mezcal-rum Daiquiri of sorts was crafted by Lewis Caputa at the Electra Cocktail Club in Las Vegas circa 2018. In the glass, the Hawkeye welcomed the nose with smoke, vegetal, caramel, and pineapple aromas. Next, lime, pineapple, and caramel on the sip soared into vegetal, pineapple, and smoky flavors on the swallow with a tropical rum funk finish.
