A lightly spiced, banana-influenced Negroni that's edging to the sweet side of bittersweet.

If U re waiting for a Negroni kind of drink, don't do it. Should be graded 2 on the sweet scale. But if U like sugary recipes, go for it, it really tastes like a sweet or a bubble-gum.

It wasn't very Negroni-esque but I kind of like it. Agree that there are some bubblegum notes but it's still balanced and not overly sweet. This could be a nice autumn digestif.

As a fan of Negronis and creme de banane… this was a miss for me. I may try again with Campari in place of the Aperol but the bubblegum descriptor was spot on in my opinion

Very much like this cocktail (so have friends). in view of managing the sweetness I have decreased the quantity of the rosso and liqueurs and increased the quantity of rum accordingly.

To help cut the sweetness I added a few drops of lemon juice (even 5ml) & a dash of Orange bitters (or Angostura Bitters)

Too sweet! Basically undrinkable . Maybe sub in Campari instead?

Unlikely to love but surprisingly easy to like. Will come again.

Unbelievably we had no Spiced rum in, except for a honey spiced! Worked exceptionally well with the banana flavour.

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
