A boozy Prohibition-era sour built on three spirits — white rum, rye, and brandy — pulled into balance by fresh lemon and grenadine. Its name needles the federal government's 1924 move to push the offshore liquor-enforcement boundary from three miles to twelve, sending rum-running party boats further out to sea. Credited to journalist and war correspondent Thomas Franklin Fairfax Millard, it reads as a rye-laced cousin of the Three Miller, rounder and rosier than its predecessor.
