Attributed to the Wreck Bar & Grill at Rum Point Club, Grand Cayman Island, 1970s — bartender created it by using Bailey's Irish Cream in place of missing cream in a White Russian. Per Difford's Guide #1374. Notes: origin story is the Wreck Bar's own account; early experimental versions used vanilla ice cream; recipe stabilized at Rum Point since 1980s. Modern Difford's recipe uses Ketel One vodka and Galliano Espresso coffee liqueur (not Absolut and Kahlúa as sometimes cited).
