Orion Hurricanes for the Lower Decks finale
(midwest.social)
Unfortunately, you can't get real Orion Dulac in Michigan, so this is my take on what Mariner would have served Those Old Scientists
- 1.5oz White rum (I used Plantation 3 Star)
- .75oz Cinnamon syrup
- .75oz Lime juice
- .5oz Absinthe (I used what they make at my local distillery, American Fifth)
- .5oz John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum Liqueur
- 1 barspoon Blue curaçao (for colour)
Shake, and double strain. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, and slowly pour in two barspoon of grenadine so that it sinks to the bottom. This could also be swapped for butterfly pea flower syrup, which is purple. I just wanted the grenadine flavor
Given that Orions are known for their space piracy, a funky Jamaican rum fits perfectly.
I might go mint over cinnamon, but I'll have to make this before I pass judgement.
Yeah, I would have added a bit of Wray and Nephew if I'd had any. My bar's a little light on bottles at the moment. I do think the cinnamon is the right choice, but if you try it with mint let me know. It might be just crazy enough to work!
I have three Jamaican runs (including wray and nephew) and zero falernum, but I'll make this happen.
