At Nine Mile Station in Atlanta, bar manager Randy Hayden’s winterized version of a Tiki drink, uses dark rum instead of white for a richer, fuller flavor, plus apricot liqueur.

  • 1/2 ounce pineapple juice
  • 1 ounce simple syrup
  • 4 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Garnish: quarter orange wheel
  • Garnish: brandied cherry

Steps
