Toffee Negroni
There's no toffee in this "Toffee Negroni" in the same way there's no coffee in the "Coffee Cocktail" yet both drinks are aptly named and delicious

great cocktail, I used dry vermouth instead of Amontillado, Biostilla's Rondo for Aperol style, and Chairmans reserve legacy rum. Drink with fresh start, then slightly bitter and ending with toffee taste, if the name haven't given it away I would never have guessed on beforehand

Solid, but for me not exceptional. I think the Toffee notes would be highly dependent on your choice of rum, and I didn't get a lot of those. I tried a variation with amaro Nonino instead of the aperitivo (Aperol), and found it added a bit of depth I was otherwise missing.

Perfect name ! Like the Negroni, this is a cocktail I can see myself go to very often : easy to remember, to build & to drink.

R.L. Seale 10 | Don Benigno ... found it lacked dimensionality or balance, will try with a different rum. 3 stars

Cane Island Thailand 5 | Don Benigno ... sweeter and less clarified, more sugary, not as good as rhum barbancourt. 3.5 stars

Rhum Barbancourt 8 | Don Benigno ... definitely a better rum choice, much more clarity from the grapes and crispiness from the aperol. 4 stars

I didn't have any sherry open, but this is also excellent with Carpano Antica. I used a cocoa-nib infused Campari and the Real McCoy 5 year rum. I'm eager to try it with the amontillado next time I have a bottle.

This is brilliant!! I made one with angostura 5 yo 30ml and Campari and one with angostura 5yo and plantation xaymaca half and half, and Campari. The second one was the best, with more toffee flavour. Excellent in any case. Our guests loved it too..

Used 3cl of Plantation Dark 40%, 2cl of Amontillado Sherry and 2cl of Aperol.
By the time I stirred it intense Pineapple notes emerged from the glass, crazy. Did not have such a strong association of something not being actually in the cocktail for a long time.
"Toffee" Aroma probably relying on older, less fruity style of rums.

Great cocktail. All the ingredients does make it taste as if there was toffee in the cocktail. With the limited ingredients, it is critical to have good quality.

Hey John, you seem to be a big fan of rum, so I'm curious which one(s) you'd recommend for a drink like this. (Currently trying to decide what to purchase for recipes calling for "Caribbean blended rum aged 6-10 years"...) Thanks!
