1/2 oz Smith & Cross Rum
1/4 oz Cruzan Black Strap Rum
1 oz Lemon Juice
3/4 oz Orgeat
1/2 oz Giffard Crème de Banane (Tempus Fugit)
Whip shake, pour into a Tulip glass (Tiki mug), fill with crushed ice, and garnish with an orchid (omit).
After my bar shift two Wednesdays ago, I selected the Death & Co. Welcome Home book for the evening's treat to myself. There, I was captivated by the Mai Tai of sorts called the Mr. Wednesday crafted by Matthew Belanger in 2017; however, the rums took a backseat to aquavit in the spirit base, and lemon juice and banana liqueur subbed in for the lime and curaçao in the classic. The name is most likely a nod to the character in the American Gods series based on Norse mythology as a connection to the Scandinavian spirit here.
