Hi all, this is my first post! (Except for my intro post.) This is a kind of rum and rye old-fashioned. I'm convinced there is a real classic drink somewhere with this mix of ingredients, although I haven't quite nailed it yet.

This has:

2 oz 100 proof rye
1 oz Rhum JM Gold
1/4 oz Bonal Gentian
1/4 oz dry white vermouth
Barspoon or so simple syrup
Small dash of chocolate bitters. Stirred over ice and strained over a death star ice cube :)

It was really tasty. Next time I think I'd drop the vermouth and up the bonal by the same amount. Pretty boozy too - it would be fine with a half oz less rye!

I know this is not exactly tiki, but the JM rhum is a real big gun ingredient for me, and I love drinks that show it off.

EDIT - If anyone's interested, I think I nailed the ingredients for this tonight!

1.5 oz rye; 1/2 oz Bonal; 1.25 oz Rhum JM Gold; small squirt of simple syryp to taste (err on the side of caution); and a shy shake each of chocolate and lemon bitters.
