Sabre

1 1⁄2 oz Rum, Pusser's
3⁄8 oz Rum, Smith & Cross
3⁄8 oz Allspice Dram
3⁄4 oz Lime cordial
1 spg Mint (as garnish)
Instructions

Build in a highball mostly filled with crushed ice and swizzle. Top with more ice and garnish with mint tucked near a straw.

Notes

For the cordial (mostly Jeffrey Morgenthaler's recipe): Infuse the juice and zest of one large lime along with a cup of water, 250g sugar, and 1 oz citric acid sous vide at 190° for an hour and a half. Cool, refrigerate for a day, and strain solids.
For the pimento dram I used the Serious Eats website's recipe.

History

Starting point was Rafa's Cutlass (linked as reference). This is also in Ancient Mariner and Mosquito Coast territory.

1⁄2 oz Rum, Papa's Pilar Blonde 3 Year
1 oz Crème de Banane, Giffard
3⁄4 oz Cream
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe.

Notes

The Papa's Pilar Blonde is a clearly adulterated sweet bomb rum with strong butterscotch notes that typically aren't present in other light rums. Use a gold or dark rum with a similar sweet profile if it's unavailable.
