  • The bitters do some heavy lifting here. The combo works unexpectedly well, seemingly due to going heavy on bitters and well chosen garnishes.

Honestly, way too sweet. The flavours line up. But I'd cut the syrups in half.

I recommend using a high proof Jamaican with this and shaking with cracked ice.


The cinnamon syrup is this was key (IMHO). Nice cocktail.

A Six for a Nine

2 oz Añejo rum (Barbados preferably)
1⁄2 oz Falernum
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Amer Picon (Perhaps sub a bitter citrus-forward amaro like Amaro Nonino, Ramazzotti, Averna or Montenegro)
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.

History

On National Rum Day, I thought about how falernum can almost sub for a vermouth in some drinks, and I decided to cross the Corn'n'Oil with the Creole Cocktail. For a name, I dubbed this one after the Bajan Creole phrase of "Don't take a six for a nine" meaning not to misjudge a person's true intentions.
