oh captain, my captain

1 oz Plantation OFTD Rum
1 oz Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum
1/2 oz Aged Jamaican Overproof Rum (Smith & Cross)
1/2 oz Falernum (Velvet)
1/2 oz Cinnamon Syrup
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1 tsp Fernet Branca
6 drop Absinthe (St. George)

Whip shake with crushed ice, pour into a Zombie glass (Tiki mug), and fill with crushed ice. Garnish with a mint bouquet (paper umbrella).

Two Mondays ago, to continue on with the Tiki the Snow Away event on Instagram, I delved into the Minimalist Tiki book and spotted Chad Austin's Oh Captain, My Captain. Besides the Walt Whitman allusion, I was attracted to recipe for it appeared like a Jet Pilot with pineapple rum, lemon juice, and Fernet Branca in place of an unflavored rum, grapefruit juice, and Angostura Bitters, respectively. Once assembled, the Oh Captain, My Captain launched off with cinnamon, funky rum, and minty aromas (even without a mint bouquet as garnish). Next, a caramel and lime sip sailed into funky rums, pineapple, cinnamon, menthol, and clove flavors on the swallow.
