Method
Put both rums, the lime juice, curaçao and orgeat into a shaker.
Add a scoop of crushed ice.
Shake hard for 8-10 seconds — shorter than usual, because crushed ice dilutes fast.
Pour the whole contents, ice included, into a rocks glass.
Top with more crushed ice to form a mound.
Float the spent lime shell on top, cut side up, and tuck the mint sprig against it.
Serve with a straw.
