Description: A dark, rustic Barbadian classic built on funky rum and molasses, named for its dark, oily appearance.

Cultural Background: A traditional Barbadian drink, its name referencing the drink's dark, viscous look rather than any actual corn or oil ingredient.

Tips: A genuinely funky, high-ester Jamaican rum is what makes this drink distinctive.

Variations: Falernum can substitute for molasses for a spicier, citrus-lime edge.

Serving Suggestion: Serve over ice, stirred, as a rustic, rum-forward sipper.
