History

Adapted from a recipe created circa 2014 by William Prestwood at The Tonga Room before leaving to run Pagan Idol, a Tiki bar in San Francisco, where he also put this cocktail on the menu. Consequently, the Quarantine Order is perhaps now more associated with the Pagan Idol.

Originally based on equal parts Appleton Estate Signature and Rum-Bar Gold rums.

As it was a rare, hot afternoon in coastal San Diego, we had agains with a spicy Medican dinner. Made with an overproof blended rum (Hamilton Lost Voyage Strong Water at 90Proof and rums from Jamaica with a little from Guyana). Instead of Passion Fruit syrup used Chinola Passionfruit Liqueur. Wonderful.

Excellent drink. Had with Alpesh before Glastonbury

Made this again and it was wonderful. Used Jamaican Black and Barbados gold rums. It has that funk of the Jamaican rum, but it is subtle. Went perfect with a spicy Mexican egg supper.

A very nice taste, but it quickly transitions to a finish that's just a little too dry for me (for this kind of drink at least; I like myself some dry drinks in general). With a 5:2 ratio citrus to sweet, it's not surprising. I might retry this with just a hair more cinnamon and/or passion fruit syrups.

Difford has halved the syrups from the original recipe but only reduced the citrus by 5ml each, so that may be your problem. I tried his version and found it very heavy on the Ango, so I might try adding a little more syrup too.

I used 2:1 (65 Brix) syrups in case relevant.

Tried this twice. The first time, I accidentally forgot the grapefruit juice. Apparently, lime juice + cinnamon + passion fruit + simple syrup combine to make grapefruit flavor, because with the grapefruit juice missing, I couldn't tell. When I added the grapefruit juice the second time around, it tasted exactly the same, just milder. YMMV.

Made this again with Black and gold Jamaican rum. If you like the Jamaica funk, this is perfect. Went unbelievable with Sichuan Orange Beef dinner. Wow.
