History
This is the version of the drink from Stan Jones' Bar Guide. It's likely a corruption of an earlier version from Patrick Gavin Duffy's Official Mixer's Manual of 1956, which calls for a sweeter balance (2/3 brandy to 1/3 pimento dram) and, interestingly, Jamaica ginger (ginger extract) rather than Jamaica rum. Nowadays the drink is often made as a highball with ginger beer.
