History

A cinnamon dusting adds spice to this mellow Aged Rum Daiquiri with subtle herbal complexity.

This adaptation was inspired by the late Helen David, cousin of Tony Abou-Ganim, and her preference for a nightcap after special occasions, her favorite being Bénédictine. Tony named the drink in honor of Helen's bar, the Brass Rail in Port Huron, Michigan, USA. The Helen David Spirit Award, which recognizes lifetime achievements at the annual Tales of the Cocktail festival, also commemorates her memory.
