between the cheats

3/4 oz Smith & Cross Rum
3/4 oz Planteray 5 Year Barbados Rum (Doorly's 12 Year)
3/4 oz Banana Liqueur (Tempus Fugit)
1/2 oz Cinnamon Demerara Syrup
1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Lime Juice (3/4 oz)

Shake with ice, strain into a Collins glass, fill with crushed ice, and garnish with an orange rose (orange twist).With pineapple juice in hand, I searched through my to-make recipe list on Sunday night and spotted the Between the Cheats from the now closed Brick & Mortar in Cambridge, MA, via their ToastTab site. I was able to find it on a Yelp menu photo in January 2017. While it is most likely named after an Amy Winehouse song, I recall that it was once Between the Cheeks and that was supported by a Yelp menu photo as well (I remember ordering something else due to that name). Both names reminded me of the classic Between the Sheets although rum and a citrus juice are the only overlaps between the two recipes. Once prepared, the Between the Cheats proffered an orange, caramel, banana, and cinnamon aroma to the nose. Next, pineapple, lime, and caramel notes on the sip flipped into funky rum, caramelized banana, and cinnamon flavors on the swallow.
