About the IBA Tiki cocktail

The IBA Tiki is the only cocktail on the IBA list named after the organization itself. It is a tropical blend of rums with muddled ginger, amaretto, Frangelico, a few drops of maraschino liqueur, pineapple juice, passion fruit, and lime. The result is spicy, nutty, fruity, and fully in tiki territory.

The original recipe calls for specific Havana Club rums because Havana Club sponsored the competition where the drink was created, with Luxardo as another sponsor. Like most tiki cocktails, the rum blend is worth experimenting with; aged gold rum and dark rum are a natural starting point.
