The Yee Mee Loo lives on! The reclaimed bar from the Yee Mee Loo mentioned and pictured above was taken from the closed Cinnabar and has been installed in the newly remodeled Formosa Cafe in West Hollywood. They are serving a blue Yee Mee Loo drink in honor of the old Chinatown bar

1 3/4 ounces agricole rum, preferably Clement’s
1/2 ounce white overproof rum, preferably Rum Bar
1 1/2 ounces pineapple juice
1/2 ounce blue Curaçao, preferably Giffard
1/2 ounce crême de cacao, preferably Tempus Fugit’s Crême de Cacao à la Vanille
1/2 ounce orgeat, preferably St. Vincent
1 long orange peel
Cocktail stirrer and umbrella, to garnish
STEP 1 Combine both rums, the pineapple juice, curaçao, crême de cacao, and orgeat in a cocktail shaker, add ice, and shake until chilled, at least 15 seconds. Strain into a hurricane glass filled with crushed ice. Twist the orange peel around the inside of the glass and rest the end on a cocktail stirrer set inside the glass. Add the umbrella and serve.
