  • Use a cinnamon syrup that's cinnamon-forward - lots of flavors here. Solid Mai Tai riff if you don't have a good curacao or mint garnish on hand, but do have cinnamon and pineapple juice. — ★★★★

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

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

Curated to "Cream of coconut" per the linked recipe.

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)
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
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.

applejack commented on 1/03/2021:

Hadn't made one of these in awhile and kinda forgot what it tasted like, so I just mixed one up.  Surprisingly it wasn't as bitter as I would have thought, and not at all overpowering.  I actually found it a bit sweet with 1/2 oz 1:1 syrup, I'd probably go with either 1/3 oz 1:1 syrup or 1/4 oz 2:1 rich syrup.  But if you want those classic Ango flavors in a stirred drink, it's a good way to go.  Might also be interesting to try with Smith & Cross / Rum Fire / Stolen Overproof or an Appleton / overproof split for the rum base.
