Millionaire

The catalog version combines equal parts dark rum, light rum, apricot brandy, and pineapple juice, usually with a maraschino cherry. Recipes under the Millionaire name vary, so confirm the house or edition recipe before treating that formula as universal.

There is no single universal Millionaire: Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book lists a Millionaire No. 1 with Jamaican rum, apricot brandy, sloe gin, lime, and grenadine. The pineapple version in this catalog is therefore a different variation, not the only historical recipe. [Savoy Cocktail Database](https://savoycocktaildatabase.com/cocktails/millionaire-cocktail/)

Measure the four equal components, shake them with ice, and strain into a chilled glass or serve over fresh ice. Finish with one maraschino cherry, and taste before adding sweetener because apricot brandy and pineapple juice already bring sweetness.

The dark and light rum provide a layered base, while apricot brandy adds stone-fruit sweetness and pineapple adds tropical acidity. It will be richer and sweeter than the 1930 Savoy version, which uses lime and sloe gin instead of pineapple juice.
