History
When I put out a call for bartenders to submit drinks named after song titles or lyrics from The Clash for an article in Alcohol Professor, I was planning on using my Lost in the Supermarket for the article until another bartender called dibs on it. Therefore, I decided to craft another drink by looking for inspiration in the band's discography. From their 1982 album Combat Rock, I latched onto the Overpowered by Funk. My mind went to the cachaça and Jamaica rum duo from the Jah Rule two nights before, and I paired it with the funky amaro Cynar as well as crème de banane since it worked with with Cynar in the Banana Clipper.
