From the Bartender

The Savoy Cocktail Book lists four different Millionaires; this is the rum-based No. 1, and the best of them. The others are variously bourbon or gin. Jamaican rum matters — its funk is what keeps the fruit liqueurs honest.

Cocktails like this one

White Rum

Bacardi Cocktail

Crisp and dry-leaning despite the pomegranate colour: sharp lime first, a thin ribbon of sweetness through the middle, and clean sugarcane rum on the finish.

Rye Whiskey

Scofflaw

Spice-forward rye cut with dry vermouth's herbal edge, lemon sharpening the middle and grenadine rounding the landing without tipping into sweet.

Islay Scotch (Peated)

Modern Cocktail No. 1

Smoke and iodine hitting first, then a wave of dark plum from the sloe gin, with lemon and a thread of anise stopping the whole thing from turning into a bonfire.

Rye Whiskey

Commodore

Pomegranate sweetness kept short and dry, lemon doing most of the talking, and rye spice running underneath the whole thing from first sip to last.
