. Variation . For a WEST INDIAN PUNCH, add ¾ ounce crème de banane or other banana liqueur, omit the simple syrup and grenadine, and dust the top with freshly grated or ground nutmeg.

DON THE BEACHCOMBER’S MIND-ALTERING CONCOCTION has been subject to variation since its conception in 1934, but this recipe loyally adheres to the original, combining three types of rum—light, gold, and dark—a blend of fresh fruit juices—and the classic finishing touch—a float of 151-proof rum on top. Deceptively smooth, this glass of velvet dynamite deserves Don’s house rule of “only two per customer.”

1 ounce light Puerto Rican rum

1 ounce gold (añejo) rum

1 ounce dark Jamaican rum

½ ounce apricot brandy

1 ounce crème de banane

1 ounce pineapple juice

1 ounce fresh lemon juice

1 ounce fresh lime juice

¼ ounce grenadine

1 tablespoon brown sugar

½ ounce 151-proof Demerara rum

Shake all liquid ingredients but the 151 vigorously with ice. Strain into an ice-filled 16-ounce chilled zombie glass (or large chilled red-wine glass). Float the 151 on the top of the drink.

NOTE: Garnish with a skewer of fresh fruit and edible flowers, if desired.
