A classic made specially for the famed opera singer Mayme Taylor (there is no real reason noted why her name spelling changed) by a barman who couldn't fill her first order of claret lemonade. Instead she sipped this gingery, smoky, citrusy pour and was sold.

  • Better than the white rum version of dark n stormy
