Curse of The Black Pearl
This funky, fruity cocktail gets its color from activated charcoal, which has been making an appearance in a wide variety of foods lately. It doesn’t add any flavor to the food and tends to be more effective in creating a black color than food coloring, hence the interest that many chefs have taken in playing around with it.
The cocktail is made with a combination of Wray and Nephew Overproof rum and Stolen rum. The Wray and Nephew has a wonderfully funky flavor that, combined with the smokiness of the Stolen, gives this drink a very flavorful – and potent – base. It is sweetened up with Licor 43 and includes allspice, lemon and pineapple to round out the flavors. I went a little heavier than usual here with the sweet Licor 43 because the extra sweetness helps the pineapple juice to really shine through. The flavors work beautifully together and the is unexpectedly bright for something that looks so dark in the glass.
