Below are the selected secret recipes taken straight from Davy Jones' Locker.

Classic Daiquiri

The Daiquiri was supposedly invented in 1898 in the mining town of Daiquiri on the southeastern tip of Cuba by an American mining engineer. It was introduced in the United States a decade later, when a U.S. Navy medical officer brought the recipe from Cuba to Washington, D.C. Just three simple ingredients is all you need. Don;t let it fool you. The ratios must be perfect. No guessing. Measure each one before pouring.

.75 oz. Lime Juice

.75 oz. Simple Syrup

2 oz. Aged Rum

Shake all ingredients with ice.
Fine strain into a chilled coup.
Optional garnish with lime wheel.

The Army Navy

The Army Navy, a World War II era cocktail, first appears in print in David Embury's ‘The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks’ from 1948. The simplicity of the Army & Navy makes it a great canvas for trying out variations, like a barrel-aged gin or different kinds of bitters.

.75 oz. Lemon Juice

.75 oz. Orgeat

2 oz. Gin

Top with Bitters

Shake all ingredients over ice.
Fine strain into chilled coup.
Garnish with lemon twist.

Junglebird

The Jungle Bird cocktail dates back to the 1970s, when it was served as a welcome drink to visitors of the former Kuala Lumpur Hilton, which opened in 1973. The cocktail was crafted by Jeffrey Ong inside the hotel’s Aviary Bar, hence the drink’s name, and the Jungle Bird is said to have been served inside a porcelain bird-shaped vessel.

.5 oz. Lime Juice

1.5 oz. Pineapple Juice

.5 oz. Simple Syrup

.75 oz. Campari

1.5 oz. Dark Rum

Shake all ingredients with crushed ice.
Pour into Collins or Highball glass.
Garnish with pineapple fronds.

Trader Vic’s Mai Tai

It’s still a debate today, 70 years after it’s creation on who invented the Mai Tai… Was it Trader Vic or Don the Beachcomber? In the end, it doesn’t really matter. This version of the recipe made by Trader Vic is great. The garnishes are meant to look like an island and a palm tree, but also add much to the flavors you’re tasting. Try out any variations of rums here. The flavor profile can change drastically depending on your rum blends.

1 oz. Lime Juice

.5 oz. Orgeat

.5 oz. Orange Curacao

2 oz Rum Blend

Shake all ingredients with ice.
Pour into rocks glass or tiki mug.
Garnish with spent lime shell and fresh mint sprig.

If you’re feeling fancy, fill the lime shell
with overproof rum and ignite. Sprinkle cinnamon
on top for some fun sparks.
