Unfortunately, you can't get real Orion Dulac in Michigan, so this is my take on what Mariner would have served Those Old Scientists

1.5oz White rum (I used Plantation 3 Star)
.75oz Cinnamon syrup
.75oz Lime juice
.5oz Absinthe (I used what they make at my local distillery, American Fifth)
.5oz John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum Liqueur
1 barspoon Blue curaçao (for colour)

Shake, and double strain. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, and slowly pour in two barspoon of grenadine so that it sinks to the bottom. This could also be swapped for butterfly pea flower syrup, which is purple. I just wanted the grenadine flavor

Let us know if your arms start getting wiggly

Arms were more or less as wiggly as usual. My eyes did feel huge though

I felt the need to inform you that I've been making these since you posted this, and I made a bunch at Christmas for the fam (called them Grinches) and they were a huge hit. Thanks a ton fellow Trekkie!

Heck yeah! I'm glad you like them!

Given that Orions are known for their space piracy, a funky Jamaican rum fits perfectly.

I might go mint over cinnamon, but I'll have to make this before I pass judgement.

Yeah, I would have added a bit of Wray and Nephew if I'd had any. My bar's a little light on bottles at the moment. I do think the cinnamon is the right choice, but if you try it with mint let me know. It might be just crazy enough to work!

I have three Jamaican runs (including wray and nephew) and zero falernum, but I'll make this happen.
