A distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts, usually aged in oak barrels (dark or black rums) or left unaged (light and gold rum). It's known to be extremely difficult to place rums into categories, there is know adhered to definition or guidelines to rum types, additives, aging, processing or coloring. For the ease of use, most simply classify broad types by their color/age, here we classify by color that implies age.

A liqueur predominantly flavored with the dried peels of the laraha orange native to the island of Curaçao. Curaçao liqueur likely originated in the 1600s from the Dutch spirit company Bols after the West Indies Company controlled trade from the island. The liqueur comes in many colors with blue being the original made by Bols, however the color is only added for effect and adds no flavor. Triple Sec (ie: Cointreau) is considered a white Curaçao.
Add all ingredients except Wray & Nephew and Blue Curaçao into a shaker. Shake with cubed ice, then strain into a tiki mug. Fill with crushed ice and swizzle. Top with Blue Wray & Nephew (see note). #shake #swizzle
