Velvet Mai Tai

1 1/2 oz dark rum
1 oz aƱejo rum
1/2 oz John D Taylor's Velvet Falernum
3/4 oz Cointreau
1 oz fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
3/4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
2 dashes angostura bitters

Combine all ingredients in a blender with a cup of crushed ice. Blend for 5-10 seconds on medium speed (note: this is a quick blending technique and the ice isn't meant to be totally blended). Pour into an old fashioned glass. Garnish with mint sprig and pineapple spear.

G sez: Smooth, rich, yummy rummy in my tummy. Srsly.

Mmm...I need a drink dictionary to go with your recipes. Velvet Falernum? Taking a number for the Drink Definitions for the Daft section.
