The "Thai Tiki Torch" is next in the country themed cocktail line. I wanted to feature dragon fruit in a drink, and I wanted to make it the vessel as well.
For the drink:
-1 1/2 oz Batavia Arrack (Batavia Arrack van Oosten)
-1/2 oz dark rum (George Bowman)
-3 oz pineapple juice
-1/2 dragon fruit
-1/2 oz simple syrup
-1 oz coconut cream
-1 dash orange bitters
-1 dash angostura bitters
Garnish:
Dragon fruit
Tiki umbrella
Glassware:
Dragon fruit
Cut a dragon fruit in half. Reserve half and with the other half scoop out the inside, putting it in your cocktail shaker. Combine the remaining drink ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Fill three-quarters with ice and shake for 15-20 seconds. Pour into your glass through a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer. Garnish.
