Harlem Nights Cocktail from the Lenox Lounge
From Heather Cross,

Since 1939 the Lenox Lounge has played host to such musical greats as Billie Holiday, John Coltrane and Miles Davis. The Lenox Lounge has been recently renovated, recapturing some of its past greatness after suffering for many years. Harlem Nights is a potent Lenox Lounge cocktail that is surprisingly delicious, despite the seemingly hodge-podge ingredient list.
