How to make the cocktail Kingston Negroni

Kingston Negroni is a wild Caribbean twist on the classic Negroni that was born in 2009 when bartender Joaquín Simó at New York's Death & Co got his hands on a bottle of funky Jamaican rum.

Within five minutes of tasting Smith & Cross overproof rum, he swapped it for Gin in a classic Negroni recipe and created an instant hit. This drink takes the intense, banana bread and allspice flavors of Jamaican rum and matches them with Campari's bitterness and sweet vermouth's richness – creating a bold, tropical version that's definitely not for the faint of heart but absolutely perfect for anyone who loves their cocktails with serious personality.
