History

Inspired by Rogerio Igarashi's Spiced Rum Negroni, recipe by yours truly in August 2019 at The Clocktower, Rye, England.

Review

I started with a classic three equal parts Negroni, simply subbing rum for gin, but the rum was masked by the bitter liqueur so I boosted rum notes with a splash of cachaça.

Amazing what a spoon of cachaça can do!

In seeking to echo this, I used
- 25ml Takamaka Spiced Rum
- 25ml Cocchi di Torino
- 25ml Campari
- 6-8 drops of De Kuyper Classic Bitters
(Made double (50ml etc) and divided)
This is one for the permanent roster. Surprisingly balanced, at least to my taste - the Takamaka seems to take the heft of Campari well.

This is a special drink. The nose of Cachaça is really nice against the Gran Classico (which is criminally underused) and the sweetness of the rum (I used Flor de Cana 4).

Great cocktail. Not really a big Negroni fan, but love rum. It was wonderful.
Used Tempus Fugit Gran Classico bitters. Was perfect for after-dinner.

"… but the gin was masked by" - I think this should refer to rum in your description/review.
