Adapted from a recipe created by Mark Huang of Taiwan while competing in the "Gentleman's Drinks & Fancy Tipples" round in Diageo's World Class Global competition in 2011. Mark won the round with this cocktail which was originally made with Zacapa 23 rum, hence the name for this riff on a classic Negroni.

Alcohol content:

1.5 standard drinks
24.74% alc./vol. (24.74° proof)
21 grams of pure alcohol

Tried this tonight and was underwhelmed. I enjoy bitter, but I found this more than I cared for. Will give it another go with slightly increased Dubonnet and less Campari. Depending on how that goes may try swapping out the Campari for Aperol.
