Review

The huge character of pungent rum is matched with a bittersweet liqueur and sweet vermouth combo. Not for everyone but a Negroni riff worth trying.

Just tried again, swapped Campari for Gran Classico, ditched the bitters. Even better.

Made with S&C (1.5 oz), Campari and good ol Cinzano (1 oz each), then added 0.5 oz of some homemade allspice dram. Unbelievably delicious.

I used Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry, Campari, and Cocchi Vermouth (half portion)....Divine!

Made this with S&C rum, Campari, and Punt e mes, and I kid you not, this is my first 10/10 in a very long time! A perfect drink!

Same specs. 1.5 oz equal parts. Was worried about the punt e mes at first. But comes together quite nicely.

Not being a big fan of bitter cocktails, I temper mine with 10ml of coffee liqueur. So, 30ml Revival Rum Aged, 30ml Cinzano Rosso, 20 ml Campari, the coffee liqueur and a dash of orange bitters.
Distillery tour visitors seem to enjoy it!

If you are used to a ‘standard’ Negroni then using S&C rum takes the drink to a different dimension. It’s a negroni but Not!
The rummy flavours mess with you first, but each sip takes you to a new place…and it’s good.
Nearing the end of the drink I found myself adding a bit more rum!

Tried it with Doctor Bird, Antica and Campari. I am not ashamed to admit that Doctor Bird is too funky for me. Back to Smith & Cross.

You have been warned! Dr Bird is for serious rum drinkers who LOVE hogo.
