The $4 Dream

Recipe:

In a shaker filled with crushed ice, combine:

• 1 ½ ounces I.W. Harper bourbon whiskey
• 1 ounce passion fruit and guava puree
• ½ ounce orgeat
• ¾ ounce cascara syrup

Shake until well mixed and pour into a hurricane glass containing a bamboo leaf. Top with guava-heavy whipping cream and complete the garnish with tropical orchids. Use dry ice for a full, warm-beach, Tiki feel.
