Special Measures Recette de cocktail
Note
Special Measures is a modern rum-forward long drink that leans into tropical bar vibes without pretending to be a vintage classic. With two characterful rums at its core and a generous splash of fruit, it sits firmly in the contemporary “island punch” family: easy to enjoy, brightly flavoured, and built for relaxed sipping. Rather than a storied origin, its appeal is all about combining familiar rum notes with crowd-pleasing citrus and pineapple.
You’ll find Langs Banana Rum brings a clear banana sweetness that plays off the deeper, spiced pineapple character of Admiral's Old J Pineapple Spiced Rum. Pineapple juice amplifies the rums’ fruity side while keeping the drink soft and rounded. Cointreau adds a clean orange lift, and the lime tightens everything up—its sharp citrus cutting through the sweetness so the finish stays fresh rather than cloying.
Serve it when you want something sunny and sociable: casual get-togethers, warm afternoons, or a party drink that still feels a bit “special.” If you like tropical flavours and rums with personality, this is an easy win—approachable for newcomers, but still interesting enough to keep you coming back for another round.

FAQ
What makes the pineapple spiced rum unique in the Special Measures cocktail?
The pineapple spiced rum, like Admiral's Old J Pineapple Spiced Rum used in the Special Measures cocktail, is distinguished by its exotic and aromatic profile. Spiced rums typically include a blend of spices and flavorings, and the addition of pineapple infuses a tropical sweetness and a subtle acidity.

Begin by adding ice to the glass and pour the stirred mixture of spirits and juices over the ice. The robust flavors and aromas of the banana and pineapple engage the senses, offering a refreshing and inviting drinking experience. For an added touch, garnish with a slice of fresh pineapple or a subtle lime wheel to enhance its visual appeal and provide a hint of the cocktail's intricate flavor profile.
