1 1/2 oz Coruba Dark Rum
1/2 oz Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Cold Brew Coffee (1 oz Regular Brew Coffee, cooled)
1/2 oz Ginger Syrup
3/4 oz Vanilla Syrup
Whip shake with crushed ice, pour into a double old fashioned glass, fill with crushed ice, and garnish with a pineapple frond and orchid (ornamental pea blossoms only).

With ginger syrup in hand, I returned to Nicole Schaefer's
Portland Cocktails book to look through the Hale Pele recipes. There, I was enamored with the Secret of the Lost Lagoon by Sierra Kirk that won the 2015 TikiTender Competition. The drink had shades of the
Mr. Bali Hai and
Eye of the Storm, so I was intrigued by what this Jamaican rum, vanilla, and ginger bomb would be like. Once prepared, the Secret of the Lost Lagoon gave forth coffee, pineapple, vanilla, and rum funk aromas. Next, lime, pineapple, and caramel notes on the sip surprised funky rum, coffee, ginger, and vanilla flavors on the swallow.
