The Beach Cruiser Cocktail is a complex and boozy tropical drink, a robust 2-ounce pour of rum – blending aged Jamaican rum, overproof rum, and blended white rum. It offers a unique profile by balancing standard tiki elements like fresh lime juice, falernum, pimento dram, guava nectar, and pineapple juice with the surprising additions of Creme de Banana and Averna, a traditional Sicilian amaro. For the best flavor experience, use high-quality, recommended brands like Tempus Fugit for the banana liqueur and Probitas, Planteray, and Appleton for the specific rum components. Simple to prepare, just flash-blend all ingredients with crushed ice for 5 seconds and serve in a large glass or tiki mug with a fresh lime wheel garnish.
