Mistaken Ray

8 oz Crushed ice
1 oz Light rum
1 oz Gin
1 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Honey syrup
3⁄4 oz Passion fruit syrup
1⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
3 ds Bitters, Angostura

2 3⁄4 oz Soda water
1 oz Jamaican rum, Coruba

History

This is from a very dedicated individual who put a great deal of effort into cracking the code of the famous Ray's Mistake of the hallowed Tiki Ti in Los Angeles. As he admits himself, this is probably not the true recipe, hence my changing of the name. (It's pretty cool that the Tiki Ti has kept the actual recipe a secret after all these years.) Nevertheless, the recipe this enthusiast concocted makes a damn good drink. Enjoy.

Quentin Torontynar

2 oz Cynar

1 twst Grapefruit peel
Instructions

Stir. Rocks glass. Ice. Grapefruit peel.

Notes

Dark and intricate with a hint of violent mystery. Tastes a bit like an Andes mint.

History

Attempting to recreate a drink recommended to me as a “Toronto but sub Cynar” and thinking it would be even better subbing out the rye instead of the fernet.
