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

  • 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.

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.

  • Excellent cocktail; more like a 4.5 stars from me...I used Doorley's 12-year, homemade falernum, and homemade cheater-Picon. Will definitely make this again.
