The day has come

The day has come: JC declared the end of Tiki craze.
He promised to tame his obsession for Tiki drinks, only if he could make Puka Punch one last time.

This is also the last cocktail in the "Smuggler's Cove" book.
He had been trying to recreate this cocktail at home but couldn't figure out all of these ingredients.

Lime juice
Orange juice
Pineapple juice
Honey syrup
Passion fruit syrup
Velvet Falernum
Angostura bitters
4 kinds of Rum
Mint for garnish


I learned from his Tiki craze that there were different aromas and texture in Rum depending mainly on the ageing process, but it's still beyond my imagination how to blend different types of Rum to achieve the taste you want.

Being in a boom, however stupid it is, makes you feel excited and happy, like that you are living in a moment, so although I thought that he was too zealous, I felt a sense of emptiness when he announced the end of Tiki boom.
However, I don't worry too much: when it comes to something like this, JC is not very good at keeping his word.
