Ok . . . I had to at least try it. . . no Coruba, but I had Mount Gay Eclipse Black (100 Proof), Appleton Estates 21 YO, and El Dorado 15 YO - 1 oz of each and kept the Kona coffee to 1 oz and followed Hurricane Hayward's recipe otherwise. All I can say is . . . "KOWABUNGA! - KEMOSABE! - JAMBO!" what a "Black Magic"! That rum combination raises this drink to supernatural heights! As one who celebrated his 21st birthday at the Kowloon in Saugus, Mass. (And still has the mug) back in '67 and who frequented as many great Tiki establishmets as possible, ( hated to see Francis Langford's Outrigger in Jensen Beach fade away . . . I was a 'Regular') . . . . until they fell by the wayside in the mid '70s. . . this version of the Mai Kai's Black Magic truly brings back memories of the mystical and secret recipes from "back in the day" . . . . I need to take a nap now.
