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.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created by Jason E. Clapham at the St. Edward's MCR at Oxford, England. Originally made with Wray & Nephew overproof rum, Jason told us this cocktail is eponymously named for the Black River which runs through the Appleton Estate, where Wray &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.
Alcohol content:
- 1.5 standard drinks
- 30.51% alc./vol. (61.02° proof)
- 21.4 grams of pure alcohol
