unsinkable

3/4 oz Smith & Cross Rum
3/4 oz Jamaican Rum (Coruba)
1/2 oz St. George Bruto Americano
1/2 oz Giffard Banana Liqueur (Tempus Fugit)
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with an orange twist. Two Mondays prior, I opened up the Bartender's Choice Volume 3 app and was drawn in by the Unsinkable. It was crafted by Brandon Bramhall at Nashville's Attaboy in 2021 as a Banana Kingston Negroni of sorts akin to the Banana Boulevardier. Once mixed, the Unsinkable floated to the nose with an orange, cinnamon, caramel, rum funk, and pine tree aroma. Next, caramel and grape notes on the sip were salvaged by funky rum, pine, bitter orange, and banana flavors on the swallow.
