ginger snap

1 1/2 oz Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac (Courvoisier VS)
1/2 oz Smith & Cross Rum
1/2 oz Rhum Clement Creole Shrubb (Van Der Hum)
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
1/4 oz Ginger Syrup
1/4 oz Cinnamon Syrup

Shake with ice and strain into a coupe glass. Two Sundays previous, I reached for my copy of the Death & Co.: Modern Classic Cocktails book and selected the Ginger Snap by Joaquin Simo at Manhattan's Death & Co. circa 2009. Overall, it came across as a gussied-up Sidecar of sorts akin to Audrey Saunder's Tantris Sidecar given the split base and split sweeteners (albeit without the Tantris' split juice aspect). Once shaken and strained, the Ginger Snap called out with a cinnamon, rum funk, ginger, and orange aroma. Next, lemon and orange notes on the sip developed into brandy, ginger, and rum funk flavors on the swallow with an orange and cinnamon finish.
