Pour over crushed ice. Top with 5 dashes of Angostura Bitters. Garnish with pineapple frond, black violas (or other edible flowers) and cocktail umbrella.

“The Blood of Rongo is a fun, boozy, summer sipper, perfect for a heatwave,” said bar manager Seth Manchester. “It captures the classic flavors of tropical fruit and warm spices of vintage Tiki drinks. A modern, elegant riff on a Fog Cutter.”
