The Iron Ranger is a modern tiki cocktail that was created by Erick Castro at Raised by Wolves in San Diego, California. It uses a fairly classic tiki formula but substitutes a punchy bourbon in place of the typical rum and pairs it with pineapple, citrus, velvet falernum, and bitters. This variation also adds cinnamon flavor into the mix via a homemade syrup for additional spice.
Add bourbon, pineapple juice, lemon juice, velvet falernum liqueur, cinnamon syrup, and bitters to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Fill tiki or coupe glass with fresh cracked ice.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into tiki or coupe glass.
Garnish with cinnamon stick and mint sprig.
