the nameless city

2 oz Planteray OFTD Rum
1 oz Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut
1 oz Pineaple Juice
1 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Maraschino (Luxardo)
1/2 oz Ginger Syrup

Whip shake with crushed ice, pour into a Tiki mug, fill with crushed ice, and garnish with mint sprigs and freshly grated nutmeg.With the new batch of ginger syrup, I thought about the ginger-Maraschino combination that I learned to appreciate in the New Rider such that I utilized it in my Who Killed Mr. Moonlight?. The Gorillas on Deck that I had at the Highball Lounge was mentioned recently on Reddit so its ginger-coconut combination came to mind. And the third link of the trio – the Maraschino-coconut aspect – was one that I enjoyed in the Haitian Zombie. For a spirit, I opted for the OFTD overproof dark rum, and that made me think of Jason Alexander and his obsession with H.P. Lovecraft such as the Arkham Kula; therefore, I dubbed this one The Nameless City that was Lovecraft's first story in the Cthulhu mythos in 1921. I tried to make this without pineapple, but it was missing something flavor-wise, and I added it in before shaking with ice. Once prepared, The Nameless City uncovered a mint and woody spice bouquet. Next, a creamy lime sip drifted into funky rum, coconut, nutty cherry, and ginger flavors on the swallow.
