The story goes that tiki bar manager John Elber (aka “Tiki John”) had to use an excess of rum and other liqueurs before the arrival of new inventory. These days, the newly redesigned Holiday Isle Tiki Bar overlooking the Atlantic Ocean serves the Original Rum Runner as a frozen drink made with Bacardi Superior Rum, Myers’s Rum, blackberry brandy, banana liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice and grenadine.
