1 oz Plantation 3 Stars rum (white caribbean rum)
1 oz Plantation Original Dark rum (dark caribbean rum)
1 oz El Dorado 8 (Demerara rum)
1 oz honey mix (50-50 mix of honey and water)
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
3/4 oz fresh white grapefruit juice*
3/4 oz black tea
1/4 oz pimento dram
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake with ice cubes. Strain into a double old-fashioned glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with mint and a spent lime shell. Optionally, augment with a sugar stick. Raise your glass and toast to absent friends.
* If you don't have a fresh white grapefruit to juice, use bottled or canned unsweetened white grapefruit juice and add a dash of grapefruit bitters.
