Safe Harbor
After battling the elements and navigating uncertain waters, sailors have always sought refuge in protected coves where the waves calm and anchors hold firm. A safe harbor represents more than just shelter—it’s a place of peace, renewal, and the promise that no matter how turbulent the journey, there’s always a sanctuary waiting.
Crafted exclusively for Meat on Ocean, Safe Harbor embodies this sense of arrival and comfort. Funk Harbor Silver Rum provides a smooth foundation, while fresh pineapple and lime deliver tropical brightness that recalls sun-drenched Caribbean shores. The subtle spice of falernum and cinnamon syrup adds warmth and depth, complemented by orange bitters for aromatic complexity. The finishing touch—an ethereal absinthe mist—transforms the drink into something almost mystical, like the first glimpse of safe shores through morning fog.
This is a cocktail for reflection and celebration, for those moments when you’ve weathered the storm and emerged stronger. It’s a reminder that every harbor, no matter how far from home, can offer comfort when you need it most.
What You'll Need
- 2 oz Funk Harbor Silver Rum
- 1 oz Fresh pineapple juice
- ¾ oz Fresh lime juice

- ½ oz Cinnamon syrup

Putting it Together
Add Funk Harbor Silver Rum, fresh pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, falernum, cinnamon syrup, and orange bitters to a tall glass or tiki mug.
Fill the glass with crushed ice.
Using a bar spoon or swizzle stick, swizzle the drink by moving the spoon up and down between your palms until the outside of the glass frosts over.
Top with more crushed ice to create a mound above the rim.
Create an absinthe mist by adding a small amount of absinthe to an atomizer or spray bottle. Gently mist the top of the drink with 2-3 sprays.
Garnish with a pineapple wedge and cinnamon stick if desired.
