1. Hudson Hurricane
A staple of tiki fare, the Hurricane typically included rum and passion fruit, but this atavistic take on the beverage goes back to its roots, with banana liqueur, melon liqueur, orange juice, and plenty of Bulleit Bourbon.

2. Ron Coquito
Harking back to the days of midcentury hotspots like Don the Beachcomber, this tropical quaff is served on the rocks and comprises a peppy blend of cinnamon, rum, coconut cream, vanilla, and the bar’s own three-milk blend.

3. The Fish Bowl
The Scorpion Bowl was a favorite among tiki bar connoisseurs, and New Roc Social’s own version of the rum extravaganza is a fitting tribute, with its mix of white rum, coconut rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, and a bit of lemon-lime soda.
