1 1⁄2 oz Puerto Rican Rum (Light rum)
3 oz Orange juice
2 oz Lemon juice
1 oz Passion fruit syrup
1 oz Simple syrup
Instructions

Shake with ice and pour into a large snifter glass then top with ice.

Notes

This is the typical version from the period. It is a large format or two person drink.

Curator's note: Beachbum Berry's earlier "Grog Log" version used sour mix, which was replaced in the "Remixed" volume with simple syrup and lemon juice.

Did you use fresh squeezed OJ (subtle) or from a store (which has flavor/aroma additives)? Otherwise, it's a large slug of OJ on top of a Hurricane, but the passion fruit and lemon should sing through along with some notes from the rums.

Although I have made different versions, the Lapu Lapu remains one of my favorite Tiki cocktails. There is a lot more going on than just orange, with the Jamaican rum funk, passion fruit and lemon. Some folks either don't like orange juice, and/or don't have access to good fresh oranges. The quality of the juice makes a difference. For retrying this to the above recipe I was using Washington naval oranges fresh off a tree in my backyard.
