This rendition of the classic features a fruity medley of rum, apricot, and sloe gin.

Several cocktails bearing the Millionaire moniker have been in circulation since 1914. This version is adapted from a 1917 recipe (following the recommendations of Ted Haigh in his 2004 book, Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails), adjusting the proportions to better suit contemporary palates.

1 1⁄2 oz. Jamaican rum (such as Smith & Cross)
3⁄4 oz. fresh lime juice
3⁄4 oz. apricot liqueur
3⁄4 oz. sloe gin

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:cocktail
Garnish:lime wheel

Preparation

Shake all of the ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled glass and garnish.
