Lalau Cocktail

This is based on the Aloha Cocktail by Hank Riddle, 1970, who worked as a bartender at Don The Beachcomber in Palm Springs, with the addition of fresh grapefruit juice and replacing the Puerto Rican rum with Maritinique Rhum Agricole Blanc. Since I made it by mistake when attempting an Aloha, I’ve called it the Lalau, which means error or mistake in Hawaiian, using the Negroni Sbagliato (messed up or mistaken Negroni) as example.
| ½ oz | 15 ml | Clément Rhum Agricole Blanc, 50% ABV |
| ½ oz | 15 ml | El Dorado Superior Overproof Demerara Rum 151, 75.5% ABV |
| ½ oz | 15 ml | Fresh lime juice |
| ½ oz | 15 ml | Fresh grapefruit juice |
| ½ oz | 15 ml | Fresh orange juice |
| ½ oz | 15 ml | Fresh pomegranate juice |
| ½ oz | 15 ml | Sugar syrup |
| ¼ oz | 7.5 ml | Cherry Heering Liqueur, 24% ABV |

Shake the ingredients with ice cubes and then strain into a flute champagne glass.
