Decreased the cinnamon syrup to 0.25 oz - it tended to dominate.

lesliec commented on 8/09/2022:

I agree with a previous comment about being 'thin'. Maybe swap amaro/vermouth quantities? But it's pleasant anyway.

To Sit

1 1⁄2 oz Blended Scotch
3⁄4 oz Spiced Rum, Wigle
1⁄2 oz Averna
1⁄4 oz Crème de Cacao
Instructions

Build over a big cube of ice in a rocks glass. Gently swirl.

Notes

I feel like the Wigle spiced rum is pretty essential, as it's easily the best spiced rum I've ever had. Even better if you have the oaked version.

History

I wanted a different after-dinner drink with scotch.

Millennial Pink

1 3⁄8 oz Rum, Plantation (Barbados 2000)
1⁄2 oz Aperol
2 t Peychaud's Bitters
2 ds Bitters (Thyme)
1 1⁄2 oz Cream
1 t Simple syrup
Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice then shake well and double strain into a coupe glass.

Notes

If unable to find thyme bitters, try shaking up with a sprig of fresh thyme. A different rum can be used, but I liked the neatness of using one from the year 2000.

History

Inspired by an obsession with this soft, dreamy colour and wanting to recreate it in cocktail form.

KushCus commented on 11/18/2017:

Added a bit of velvet falernum to sweeten it a little as slight bitter notes from ginger -probably more refreshing in summer than cold November in England!

Miramar

2 oz Rum, Havana Club 7
3⁄4 oz Strega
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1 bsp Rum, Smith & Cross (As float)
1 twst Lemon zest
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain over big rock. Float Smith & Cross; twist lemon and drop in.

Notes

Ideally use Cuban rum for the base but feel free to experiment with others (Appleton 12 should be great). Miramar is a suburb of Havana; it's also the Wellington suburb where our movie industry is based (and which I can see from my lounge).

History

Inspired by the Havana, by Giancarlo Jesus of the Hawthorn Lounge.

  • Delicious! Love the rum on rum.
  • Will probably need subbed rum
  • "Round and brown" is a good descriptor. I used El Dorado 8 which maybe overemphasized the caramel flavors the Cynar was already bringing.

iScrumhalf commented on 8/10/2025:

had Havana Club Anejo (PR) and Worthy Park on hand so I gave this a spin. initially super fun, fruity, and funky. with increased dilution, it lost a bit of complexity but I’m willing to blame that on rum choice. still 4/5 and would try with different rums again

flickerdart commented on 2/22/2026:

Made with some substitutions (Rhum Agricole Blanc because it was all I had, and Cynar 70 substituting for both the Cynar and the float). I can see how it would be better with a dark rum, but the agricole funk is still compelling if you're into that sort of thing.
