The Shark’s Tooth is a bold tiki drink in which dark rum meets lime, grenadine and spicy falernum. A splash of soda gives it freshness, the grenadine its typical red color. Fruity, tart and just right for an exotic time-out.
Instructions
- Add rum, lime juice, grenadine and falernum to the shaker.
- Shake hard with crushed ice.
- Strain into a tiki mug filled with crushed ice.
- Top up with a splash of soda.
- Garnish with a lime slice and serve.
Garnish: Lime slice
Pro tip: Add the soda only at the very end and stir briefly - this way the drink keeps its lively freshness and the grenadine settles slightly.
