History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2021 by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails. Originally made with Wray & Nephew overproof rum, Jason told us this cocktail is eponymously named for the Black River which runs through the Appleton Estate, where Wray & Nephew is distilled.

Review

Rum funkiness and amaro bitterness combine in the bittersweet after-dinner sipper. For a less potent version use cachaça in place of the over-proof rum.

Wow this one really evolved as it warmed! Made with what I had; Rum Fire, Bacardi Ocho, Tempus Fugit Gran Classico. Surely not like the original, was sceptical at first but it only got better and better, the last few sips were the best.

Great after-dinner drink. Use Rhum Clement Canne Bleue and Luxardo Amaro Abano (which added a peppery taste). Also added a few drops of Orange Bitters to give more of the Amaro Montenegro flavour.
