Today I'm going to demonstrate how to mix a Half Moon Street cocktail. Now we're going to build this drink directly in a highball glass so we're going to start by adding ice. Just like so, you want to put it right up to the top. Now, our base ingredient is going to be a brandy. So we're going to put in about an ounce and a half of brandy or a six count. One, two, three, four, five, and six is going to give us our desired pour. Next we're going to add in our pineapple juice. We're going to go about halfway up from there and then we're going to add in our sour mix, and about halfway up, with leaving about an inch to the top, a little bit of club soda for flavor, and for some fizz, and then we want to stir that with a straw really thoroughly to get all those flavors mixed before floating some 151 rum directly on the top. We're just going to pour it all in the top. And what's great about this is it's going to slowly settle or your guest can just take a sip right off the top and basically has a shot right on the top of the drink. So that is your Half Moon Street cocktail, a drink you'll undoubtedly enjoy.
