History

Rum funkiness and amaro bitterness merge in this bittersweet after-dinner sipper. Cachaça can substitute for over-proof rum for a less potent version.

J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails created this recipe in 2021. Jason explained that this cocktail is eponymously named for the Black River, which flows through the Appleton Estate, the location where Wray & Nephew is distilled. The original preparation used Wray & Nephew overproof rum.
