Really enjoyed this lovely rum based light negroni style cocktail. Made with Havana club 3yo, Dubonnet, Lillet and an excellent homemade seville orange marmalade. The rum flavour comes through nicely and works well with the 2 ‘wines’ and the orange.

Typo - I’m assuming black ice should be block :^)

Wonderful. I did use du bonnet as I had no Byrrh as prescribed. Nice garden drink in late afternoon
