Two Wednesdays ago, I was perusing 1934's 1700 Cocktails for the Man Behind the Bar and spotted an interesting Caribbean-feeling drink that intrigued me despite its racist name. The Black Mammy paired up rum and brandy like in a good punch and paired up citrus like in Tiki drinks. I took the liberty of interpreting the clove element to be falernum to drive it a bit more Caribbean akin to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.

Really enjoyed making this cocktail. I didn't have the exact rums for the "remake" of Santa Cruz Rum so I winged it with some Jamaican Pot Still, Clement White and Plantation. The entire cocktail was delicious just not sure I can ever replicate the mix but will have fun trying. Thanks for the continuing trip into cocktail's that I would never know about unless I read it in your blog. Always looking forward to trying your recipes for my girlfriend and I.
