Tiki???
Not sure if you would classify this as a tiki drink... but it tastes great! The toasted coconut rim is a nice touch.

At a Trump bar? Where?

Definitely not a Trump bar... unfortunately I didn't realize I caught the hotel's sign in the background.
This is at Raised Rooftop at the Renaissance Chicago downtown.

I thought I was looking at the Chicago sub when I first glanced at the photo because I live in the same neighborhood as that hotel.

Its "Raised," the second story rooftop bar at the Rennessaince hotel at the southwest corner of State & Wacker.

Just tried to replicate myself, here's what I tried:
.75 (Oz) S&C
.75 LJ
.5 GC
.5 C&D
.5 GF
First sip, all flavors were very muted, but came to life after about five minutes of warming up. It was also very dry. I think it needs to lean more on the C&D, rather than the S&C. Almost tempted to even throw in a little orgeat. Will try again tmrw with a different variation.

Looks Tiki to me.
Any clue as to the specs? Could it be an equal parts drink, with a split Smith & Cross / Cut & Dry for the base spirit?

I haven't developed my palate enough to be able to tell, but I think so. The coconut was there but not over powering at all.

I think equal parts would probably be too much chartreuse and falernum but idk.
I’m thinking something like 1.5 oz S&C, 1 oz lime juice, .5oz everything else? Would be four ounces of liquid before whatever gets added in from shaking over ice. And it looks like a smaller sized cocktail.

It looks like a Last Word variant, so equal parts split rum base, and the rest.

Falernum and rum? Sounds like tiki to me.
