FIELD LOG
Sleeping Giant
The Sleeping Giant is a tiki drink that awakens the taste buds with a tropical punch. Rums, typically white or Cuban style, provide a strong base. A blend of citrus juices, pineapple and orange, offers a refreshing tartness. Orgeat syrup adds a touch of nutty sweetness, while a hint of lime or lemon juice keeps it balanced. This potent concoction, often garnished with a maraschino cherry and mint sprig, lives up to its name – a deceptively smooth drink with a powerful kick.

Notes
The original recipe does call for 1/4 overproof. It is a small amount, so I wrapped it into the larger category. However, if you have it, feel free to use it.
