A modern classic from the Tiki-Ti in Los Angeles, invented by the Ti's bum-in-residence, Rasta Jim. I had the pleasure of meeting Jim, and sampling his namesake cocktail back in 2005. Now, thanks to Beachbum Berry's Sippin' Safari, I can enjoy a simulacrum Jim's Special in the comfort of my own home.

2 1/2 oz. Tequila Reposado
2 oz. Dark Rum (1 oz. Meyer's, 1 oz. Cruzan Blackstrap)
1 oz. Tiki-Ti Mix ( 1/2 oz. Curacao, 1/4 oz. Orgeat Syrup, 1/4 oz. Demerara Cane Sugar Syrup)
1 oz. Fresh-squeezed Lime Juice
1 oz. Passion Fruit Syrup (Trader Vic's)

Cut lime wedge and squeeze into tall tiki mug or large snifter filled with ice cubes. Blend all ingredients with 1 cup of crushed ice for 5 seconds. Garnish with Maraschino cherry speared to pineapple wedge.
