Default Tropical Drinks

This is what I mix up to sit by the pool - I dont have a name for it
but it's a variation on the Rum Runner (perhaps the Knorr Runner?):

In an Iced Tea glass (20 oz):

3/4 oz. Light Rum (I use Bacardi - like the rest of the world)
3/4 oz. Dark Rum (using my favorite - Gosling's Black Seal)
3/4 oz. Spiced Rum (the Captian of course)
3/4 oz. 99 Bananas (99 proof banana liqueur - a lower proof Creme
would be just as good)
3/4 oz. Raspberry Schnapps (DeKryuper Razzmatazz in this case)
1 8 oz. can pineapple juice
fill with cranberry juice

Build it all in the glass with lots of ice. Roll it into a large
shaker and give it just 1 or 2 shakes and roll it back into the glass.
The shake gives it a nice bit of foam on top and blends everything
together. It can all be tossed in a blender instead for a frozen
drink.

A word of caution - I'm not a small guy (6'6" 350 lb) but more than 2
or 3 of these and I get a bit sleepy.

Enjoy!
