Frederic Yarm created Miracles Take Longer in 2017 as a drink of the day at Loyal Nine in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as a smoky sour inspired by the Mr. Howell. Rhum agricole and mezcal replace the white rum and Islay Scotch, the maple syrup and lime juice are kept, and Angostura Bitters is added for balance. The title borrows from a 1987 Television Personalities song, which may in turn refer to a British TV series from 1984.
