Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail. If using a rocks glass, plan to serve over crushed ice; for a coupe, serve straight up.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Myers's Dark Rum, 0.75 oz amaretto, 0.5 oz orgeat syrup, 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup if you prefer a slightly sweeter drink.
Add ice and shake
Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker, cap it, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.
Prepare serving ice (if using crushed)
If serving over crushed ice, fill your chilled rocks glass about three-quarters full with crushed ice. If serving up in a coupe, discard the glass ice water (if used) and keep the glass chilled.
Double strain and serve
For a coupe: double-strain the shaken cocktail (using the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer) into the chilled coupe. For a rocks glass: strain the cocktail into the glass over the crushed ice, then gently pack a little more crushed ice on top to mound slightly.
