Yeah, I think the Creme De Noyaux is in the mix.

I typically don't use Creme De Noyaux but I had an occasion to and I bought a bottle.

I made the drink (I think it was a creation for one of the tiki claientes) and as soon as I tasted the drink immediately I tasted something that reminded me of the Ray's Mistake.

I have often read or heard that the Ray's Mistake contains a hint of almond. And I think we just all assumed it was orgeat, completely forgetting Creme De Noyaux. Which I think was much more popular back in the day when the ray's mistake was created than today, where we obsess over hand crafted orgeats.

So conclusion: Creme De Noyaux in one of the syrups that goes into the mistake. I know we have confirmed passion fruit is a flavor. But the question is how is that flavor introduced. Is it with a passion fruit syrup or some passion fruit juice/concentrate.

And finally, we know coruba is floated, but the primary spirit is poured out of a clear bottle. I am not quite sold on gin being in the drink, and I believe others have asked and confirmed it is not, but you do read about "Botanicals" in the description. So I suppose the clear spirit poured for the drink rather then being the "well" white rum could be a mix of rum and gin. I am not sure. Maybe if I can bribe the wife I can do research Saturday.
