Suffering Bastard

Today I'm sharing the Trader Vic's recipe for a Suffering Bastard. This drink tastes more like a Mai Tai instead of the ginger beer Suffering Bastard served in some bars.  I modified the recipe from the one included in Trader Vic's Tiki Party! since that recipe uses a pre-made Mai Tai mix and I use the individual ingredients. 

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Jamaican rum
• We used Appleton Estate's Signature Blend
• 1 oz silver Puerto Rican rum
• 1/2 oz lime juice
• 1/2 oz orange curaçao
• 1/2 oz orgeat
• 1/4 oz simple syrup
• 1 cup crushed ice

 Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.

Serve in a tiki mug or your glass of choice. Enjoy!
