South Sea Dipper
The South Sea Dipper is a forgotten classic from Trader Vic’s 1947 Bartender’s Guide that deserves a place in the modern cocktail canon, especially in this refined incarnation from Paul McGee at Chicago’s Lost Lake.
This is the drink we whip out when we want to impress our friends without breaking a sweat. Be sure to float the port right as you’re serving it – the effect is gorgeous, but temporary.
Ingredients
- 1 part Light rum
- ½ part Aged rum
- ½ part Unaged rhum agricole
- ¾ part Passion fruit syrup or Passion fruit liqueur or Passion fruit puree
- ¾ part Pineapple juice
- ¾ part Lemon juice
- ¼ part Simple syrup
- 1 dash Aromatic bitters
- 1 tsp Port
Instructions
Shake everything but the port with ice, and strain into an ice-filled glass. Float the port on top. Alternately, you can quickly flash-blend with a cupful of ice and pour unstrained into a glass, and then top with the port.
