Scott Noble of VenTiki Tiki Lounge & Lanai (VenTikiLounge.com) in Ventura created this custom cocktail to highlight Channel Islands Rum. (The cocktail is also available at the bar.)

3 ounces Channel Islands Rum

½ ounce fresh lemon juice

1 ounce fresh lime juice

2 ounces passionfruit syrup

½ ounce honey syrup*

Put all ingredients into a martini shaker with ice, and shake to mix. Pour the entire contents of the shaker into a glass. Garnish with an orange triangle and maraschino cherry.

*To make honey syrup, put ¼ ounce of honey and ¼ ounce of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, just until honey has dissolved. Take off the heat and cool.
