📜 History

The Corn 'n' Oil is a Barbadian institution, traditionally made with the island's distinctive blackstrap rum and locally produced falernum. The name reportedly comes from the drink's appearance—dark as corn oil. This simple combination showcases Caribbean rum culture at its most authentic, with the molasses-rich rum balanced by falernum's spiced sweetness and fresh lime.
