Ingredients
Scale
Main Alcohol Ingredients:
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) light rum
Liqueur Layers:
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) banana liqueur
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) melon liqueur
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) grenadine
Secondary Ingredients:
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Fill a tall hurricane glass with grenadine, creating a vibrant crimson foundation and strategically placing ice cubes to preserve layer definition.
- In a separate mixing vessel, combine banana liqueur and light rum, ensuring thorough integration of spirits.
- Delicately cascade the rum-banana mixture over an inverted spoon’s curved surface, allowing it to gently settle atop the grenadine without disrupting the initial layer’s integrity.
- Prepare the final emerald tier by selecting melon liqueur and positioning a spoon at a precise angle above the existing yellow stratum.
- Execute a methodical pour of melon liqueur across the spoon’s reverse side, facilitating a seamless green layer that crowns the cocktail’s architectural design.
- Elevate the visual presentation by adorning the drink with an optional lime or pineapple garnish, introducing a complementary citrus accent.
- Serve immediately to preserve the cocktail’s stunning stratified appearance and ensure optimal temperature and flavor preservation.
Notes
- Mastering Layer Separation requires patience and a steady hand when pouring each liqueur to prevent mixing.
- Use a bar spoon’s curved back gently touching the glass’s inner surface to create crisp, distinct color boundaries between liqueurs.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to help maintain sharper layer definitions and enhance the cocktail’s overall temperature stability.
- Consider using clear, clean glassware with straight sides to showcase the stunning Jamaican flag-inspired color gradient most effectively.
