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.

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.

Scofflaw

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.

Commodore

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.

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.
