Ok, the first time reading the comments made me assess for a second. I really like the drink, and while I don't think it is a mess, I do not really see what all of the ingredients are bringing - specifically not seeing the nuance of the rye (I used Rittenhouse).

Ignoring that critique, the rum sets the base and the cognac fills in late. It's a fairly unique evolution that piques my interest.

Mess of a cocktail that tastes marginally better stirred. Should be a shot with a Tajin rim. Worked better with the grenadine at 15 ml too. My grenadine is the Morgenthaler recipe, so it ain't a red, fruitish syrup. That might be the x-factor.

Agreed. This is a hot mess. The balance is that of a boat on the ocean at 12 miles. You will need to pick your favourite spits and attempt to balance with your specific grenadine and lemon juice. Bonne Chance.

A delicious taste of history with an unusual mix of base spirits.

Wonderful pre-Prohibition cocktail. Flavourful and no nonsense. Three alcohols works perfectly and the lemon is perfect. Well balanced.

I enjoyed this cocktail, the three spirits work really well together.
