beyond the solar system

3/4 oz Rittenhouse Rye
3/4 oz Smith & Cross Rum
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
1/4 oz Cinnamon Syrup
1/4 oz Orgeat

Whip shake with crushed ice, dump into a glass (Tiki mug), fill with crushed ice, and garnish with an apple fan dusted with freshly grated cinnamon. Two Sundays ago, I decided to make a drink that I had bookmarked on Instagram back in October from user WeeklyTiki called Beyond the Solar System. This Saturn riff seemed like a good followup to the tequila Saturn called the Papa Noel from the Sippin' Santa series I had two days prior. Here, a rye-funky rum version had me curious for the rum-laden Janus was so delightful; moreover, the falernum was also swapped to cinnamon syrup. In the mug, the Beyond the Solar System welcomed the nose with an apple and cinnamon aroma. Next, creamy, lemon, and tropical notes on the sip launched off to rye, funky rum, earthy nutty, cinnamon, and passion fruit flavors on the swallow.
