History
Adapted from a recipe created in 2010 by Victor Nordelöf at London's Callooh Callay as an entry to Bacardi Legacy and included in Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown's book Ramping Up the Classics!
Review
Victor's original recipe was made for Bacardi Legacy so calls for a light white rum. Perhaps more importantly, he specifies pomegranate syrup and your choice of syrup, homemade or otherwise, will greatly influence the finished cocktail, as will your crème de cacao which shines.

Genever adds its own complexity to this version of the classic Holland House. The sugar syrup is my 'optional' addition, but for me it's essential.

While gin might lead this Negroni, port wine rounds and sets it apart from less noble Negronis.

Comments & Discussion
I used Havana Club 3 years old, I think it's the most fitting rum for this drink.
