I keep Coruba around and sometimes do a 50/50 split for guests if they don't like the funk. Last year I feared it would be a one-off experiment for Mr. Hamilton, so I began buying up bottles where I could. Apparently bartenders love it and there was a new batch this year, so it looks like it'll stick around. (Try his St. Lucian rum as well-- really excellent.) The Millionaire cocktail in Ted Haigh's "Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails" showcases the Hamilton Jamaican really well (used in place of Myers'): 1.5 oz Hamilton Black Jamaican rum .75 oz Plymouth sloe gin .75 oz apricot brandy (I use Marie Brizard Apry) juice of 1 fresh lime (1 to 1.5 oz) Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge. Enjoy!
