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

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.

great way to jazz up that $15 gallon from kirkland!

Negroni meets banana bread. It is sweeter and I added a drop of Angostura to amp up sweet spice notes. A autumn/winter negroni and a cocktail where you can actually taste the banana.
