Black Stripe.

(Use small bar-glass.)

  • Take 1 wine-glass of Santa Cruz rum.
  • Take 1 table-spoonful of molasses.

This drink can either be made in summer or winter; if in the former season, mix in one table-spoonful of water and cool with shaved ice; if in the latter, fill up the tumbler with boiling water. Grate a little nutmeg on top.
