Actually, the name of the cocktail (it was created at Drink in Boston) references the 1919 Molasses Disaster in Boston. Old Monk is a rum that has a definite molasses quality in taste. http://en.wikipedia/wiki/Boston_Molasses_Disaster. The 18th Amendment (prohibition) was indeed ratified in 1919 (January 16th), but didn't actually take effect until a year later.
