This is actually a riff on Don the Beachcombers' recipe in Beachbum Berry Remixed, just with 2oz Banks's instead of 1.5oz dark Jamaican rum, and it should be 1/4 teaspoon of Allspice Dram. (see https://cocktailvirgin.blogspot.com/2012/04/montego-bay.html)

It is actually more complex than that from what I can tell. Beach Bum Berry's recipes are interpretations of "classic" Tiki drinks, so not necessarily fully true to original recipes in all cases. Montego Bay is missing from his Grog Log book. Difford's lists a different cocktail with the same name from 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide. And of course, there are various other newer cocktails using the same name, but in no way the same (pineapple juice, grenadine, mango, etc.) I am considering changing the name of the posted recipe to "Montego Bay (Brandon Lockman)" and listing it as an "altered recipe" since it is his interpretation and not what has become standard.

Superb. Made with Punt e Mes. I added 1/2 oz dry vermouth to re-balance the sugar.

Very good, similar to a traditional Liberal cocktail, but with a slightly darker/more bitter backbone. Made with spec'ed ingredients except for using Rittenhouse 100 Rye. The Bigallet/Cocchi di Torino/Bonal trio creates a good flavor balance of dark cacao, semi-bitter orange, along with red grape/wine. With the rye there is some pepper/heat up front that ably counters the initial sweetness. Rich clear brown/amber hue.

Cool find!

Thanks. I've been reading a lot about this era and the Murphys in particular are full of great anecdotes and recipes (plus I adore Murphy's painting "Cocktail," which is my photo on this site).

I like his paintings too--in fact I saw and enjoyed the exhibition mentioned in the link. I'm an art historian and I've actually done a fair amount of archival research on artists of that exact era, but never picked up a cocktail recipe before!
