- 1 ozDark Jamaican Rum
- .5 ozOrange Liqueur
- .75 ozBG Reynolds Hazelnut Cocktail Syrup
- 1 ozLime Juice

Combine all ingredients into a shaking tin with crushed ice. Shake for 5-8 seconds. Open pour into glassware. Top with more crushed ice. Garnish and enjoy!
Editor's Note
Squid ink turns this classic Tiki template into a moody, Halloween-ready sipper. The hazelnut syrup adds a rich, nutty depth that complements the funk of the Jamaican rum.

Very cool - I saw your video where you talked about squid ink. Adding some color and some saline without adding flavor comes in handy!

This looks like the perfect spooky twist on a classic! Do you have a specific ratio you use for the squid ink solution to ensure it stays flavor-neutral?
