Black Magic
A longstanding bastion of tiki, Florida’s Mai-Kai bar is home to a number of iconic drinks and top-secret recipes, many of them copyrighted originals. Among the most famous—possibly by virtue of its sheer strangeness—is the tropical, coffee-spiked Black Magic, a drink that arrives in a frosty, 30-ounce snifter loaded with ice and garnished with a comparatively dainty wisp of lemon peel.
“The coffee thing is subtle, but it informs every other ingredient in the drink,” says tiki historian and longtime Mai-Kai patron, Jeff “Beachbum” Berry. “It’s almost like an ‘umami’ kind of thing. [It] just takes the drink up to another level.”
