Bottled juice is more convenient and often less expensive.

Start by squeezing 1/2 ounce of fresh lime juice into a shaker.

Add 1 ounce of freshly squeezed orange juice to the shaker.

Pour in 1 ounce of gardenia syrup.

Add 1 ounce of blended rum from Ghana.

Next, add 1/4 ounce of macadamia nut rum.

Then, add 1/2 ounce of Havana Cuba celestion rum.

Mix the ingredients with 5-6 ounces of crushed ice in a blender.

Pulse the mixture for about 20 seconds until the ice is broken down and the drink is well mixed.

Prepare a tiki glass and strain the mixture into it, pouring slowly to avoid foam.

If you see sediment, use a muddler or spoon to push more liquid through the strainer.

Top the glass off with additional crushed ice.

Garnish the drink with an orchid and insert a straw.
