Made this with Wray and Nephew, it's a wonderful drink with a mix of amazing flavours, the overpowering funk of the rum and the bitterness of the Campari blend with each other into something amazing. Highly recommended as a way to get all the best flavours from the rum.

We love rum. We love Jamaican rum. We love overproof rum. Of all the Negroni variations we have tried this is our favourite. The rum is front and center, but the bitters and vermouth add some softening of the Jamaican funk. Of all the negroni variations, this is the one will have over and over. Thanks for bringing this cocktail to our attention.

Made one with 20ml Cocchi vermouth and 10ml Monin Falernum. Lovely drink!

I like upping the Smith & Cross to 1 1/4, decreasing the Campari to 3/4, and using Cocchi Vermouth di Torino. Creates a cocktail that's almost savory, but still has sweet notes & hopefully gives you what you want. Recipe from Taran Rosenthal, Durham area, NC, USA. It might be my favorite cocktail of all.

can we use bacardi aged rum instead ?

I haaaaate this drink. It has absolutely no semblance of a negroni. I sprung for the carpano antica, Smith and cross, and campari, and all you get is a slightly bitter glass of good Jamaican rum on ice.

The pot still rum absolutely steamrolls any and all subtleties of the vermouth and the campari. None of the lovely herbal bracing bitterness, just banana bread with a slightly dry, bitter finish. Unbelievably one note for the quality of ingredients.

I drank it, but never making another.
