On that note, here is a transcription of the recipe for anyone who wants to print it!

Thurston Howl
Bartenders at Frankie's Tiki Room make this house drink with homemade cinnamon and ginger syrups garnished with a "flag" made of a pineapple slice and cherry speaker on a cocktail pick.

1 oz. Appleton Special rum
1/2 oz. Brandy
1/2 oz. Tanqueray Rangpur gin
1/4 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/4 oz. Cinnamon Syrup (see below)
2 oz. Papaya Nectar
Ice cubes
Tools: shaker
Glass: highball or tiki mug
Garnish: pineapple and cherry flag

Combine ingredients in a shaker and fill with ice. Shake for 10 seconds, pour unstrained into a glass and garnish.

GINGER SYRUP
Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Add 4 ounces chopped ginger and reduce heat, simmer for five minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and cover; let sit for four hours. Strain mixture through a mesh strainer. Keep syrup refrigerated and use while fresh; the ginger flavor will fade within 7-10 days.

CINNAMON SYRUP
Follow instructions for ginger syrup, substituting three lightly crushed cinnamon sticks in place of the ginger.
