Dark Strong

Corn 'n' Oil is a Barbadian classic that builds a complex, layered rum cocktail by muddling lime with falernum and Angostura Bitters, adding aged rum, then floating a measure of blackstrap rum on top for a dramatic two-tone presentation and a depth of molasses flavor. At 23.17% ABV, it is a bold and sophisticated cocktail that showcases the contrast between aged rum's smoothness and blackstrap's intense, dark character. The name refers to the visual contrast of the dark rum float against the lighter drink.

History & Origins

Corn 'n' Oil is a traditional Barbadian cocktail with roots in the island's rum culture, where the drink has been enjoyed for generations. Its origin is disputed, though its use of falernum — a spiced, lime-flavored syrup with strong ties to Barbadian cocktail history — marks it as authentically Caribbean. The floating of blackstrap rum to create a visual and flavor contrast is a technique long associated with Barbadian bartending tradition.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Muddled lime and the spiced, almond-clove character of falernum, with the complex spice of Angostura Bitters and the dark molasses of the aged rums. Palate: A complex interplay of lime tartness, spiced sweetness from falernum, and the deep molasses-fruit character of aged and blackstrap rum; Angostura adds layers of spice. Finish: Long and warming, with lingering rum, spice, and lime.

Pro Tip

Float the blackstrap rum last by pouring it slowly over the back of a bar spoon onto the surface of the drink for a dramatic dark layer on top.
