Molokai Mike
A classic Trader Vic tiki cocktail. It’s a layered drink; the secret being to blend the top/bottom layer really well and the middle layer gets just a quick blend.
If you don’t feel confident adding three layers then forget the bottom layer and just go for two. It will still look and taste fabulous.
