This tropical-leaning cooler balances smoky Scotch against a chorus of fruit and spice, with the funky, rum-like depth of Batavia arrack adding complexity beneath layers of pineapple and passionfruit. The citrus keeps things bright and tart, while orgeat lends a subtle almond richness that rounds out the edges. It drinks long and refreshing, though never simple—there's a savory backbone that anchors the sweetness and gives the whole thing unexpected weight.
