Rum Runner cocktail:

Like many classic cocktails before it, the Rum Runner is said to have been invented by a bartender simply looking to use up extra ingredients. It’s been claimed to have originated in the early 1970s at the Holiday Isle Tiki Bar (now the Tiki Bar at Postcard Inn), located on Islamorada in the Florida Keys. Bar manager John Elber was allegedly clearing out dead stock to make room for fresh inventory when he improvised the drink by throwing the contents of old liquor bottles into a blender.

Elber named the result—a combination of rum, banana liqueur, blackberry liqueur, grenadine, and tropical fruit juices—the Rum Runner, as a nod to the Florida Keys place in history as an important location in the illegal Prohibition-era alcohol-smuggling trade.
Ingredients
1 1/2 parts Cruzan® Coconut Rum
1 part DeKuyper® Blackberry Brandy
1 part Pineapple Juice
1 part Orange Juice
Splash Grenadine
Pineapple Wedge

Serve over ice in a hurricane glass. Garnish with a pineapple wedge.
