Orphan Black cocktail #3

In creating this cocktail I wanted to design a Tiki style drink. The concept of a Tiki cocktail is that there’s a lot of alcohol hidden very well by various fruit juices and ingredients. This concept was chosen to symbolize her being an assassin and her plan to eliminate the clones. Overall this cocktail came as a bit of a surprise in that the fairly potent mix of various Rums is hidden so well that, other than their flavor notes, their potency is almost extinguished. Various tropical notes with a perfect blend of citrus and tart cranberry come together to lessen the burn of an otherwise potent mix.
Recipe:
1 oz. Bacardi 151
2 oz. Coconut Rum
1 oz. Dark Rum
4 oz. Orange Juice
2 oz. Cranberry Juice
½ oz. Falernum Syrup
2 Dashes of Bitters
½ oz. Jagermeister
Preparation: Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a large glass over ice and then slowly pour the Jagermeister on top then serve.
