I haven't tried it yet, but like the concept of ground black pepper. Symbolism for black powder.
Maybe a dash of Black Powder. It used to be considered a remedy for Syphilis.
Those with syphilis might consider an aqueous solution of Young's 303, drunk alfresco while wearing short sleeves and bombay bloomers.
The 'cocktail' louches to the colour of a white russian and has a pleasant carbolic smell that might remind you of Florence Nightingale's hospital.
The exposed limbs will help you get bitten by mosquitoes so you may acquire malaria, which is claimed to have cured Cesare Borgia's VD.
