The Corn & Oil is an alcoholic cocktail created in Barbados, arguably referencing the dark “oil” like qualities of well aged rum. The addition of “Falernum”, another Barbadian created ingredient, adds a unique spice and lime note, lightly sweetening the cocktail. While the origins of its name are largely unknown, it is making a resurgence in modern cocktail culture.
