Brass Rail
The cinnamon dusting which crowns this cocktail adds light spice to what is a mellow Aged Rum Daiquiri with subtle herbal complexity

I'm such a huge fan of the Cable Car, that cocktails in the same category are at a very unfair advantage. While the Brass Rail is delish, it's not better than. the CC which boasts a little more cinnamon (sue to the rimmer), and uses a Spiced rum, which to my very unsophisticated palate is edgier. That being said, the only blend I had on hand was only five years old; could that explain it?!?

This was wonderful. Used Denizen Merchant Reserve 8 year Jamaican rum. It added a little of the Jamaican funk that I love in my rum. The cocktail had hints of spices, citrus, and a great mouthfeel with the egg white. Stunning evening cocktail.

Made this with Abuelo 7 Años - an absolutely *delightful* take on a rum sour. A buttery smooth base, with spices, bitters and liqueur coming together to really elevate it; definitely making these more often.

On a rum odyssey at the moment and here I find myself, dashed on the rocks of one HELL of a beverage. Greater than the sum of its parts by some distance but with a respectful nod to each. Christmas on the beach. English Harbour 5 y/o rum for me.

The garniah gives all the meaning to this cocktail. A brilliant idea!
I personally (while loving the cocktail as it is) find that the lemon dominates a little too much and that a simple spiced rum such as Havana spiced or Bacardi spiced would enhance the whole.

Great cocktail, the orange zest twist (flamed or not) and the cinnamon give the egg white foam a nice smell. According to the personal taste it could be possible to cut back the syrup.

My favorite rum cocktail.
I must confess, however, the flamed orange zest eludes me.
Simon can you make a video showing how this done?
Thanks

I cannot provide a link here, but there's a very good "How to Flame a Peel" video by 'The Educated Barfly' on YouTube: how to select your orange, how to best cut the peel to make it effective, and why you should use a match and not a lighter..

Delicious. I substituted aquafaba for the egg white. The dusting of cinnamon is a nice touch.
