Instructions:

Combine both rums and Blue Curacao in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake, then pour into a cocktail glass.
Fill the rest of the glass with chilled pineapple juice. Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

A Brief Synopsis: In London in 1874, Dr. Henry Jekyll’s wife, Kitty, is secretly involved with his friend Paul Allen (who hounds money from Jekyll). Ignoring the warnings of his colleague and friend Dr. Ernst Littauer, the middle-aged, mild-mannered Jekyll concocts a chemical potion which he hopes will help him learn the depths of the human mind.
