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.

Made with Campari and Havana 7. Delicious. A lovely blend of mellowed rum and Campari. Sherry's there, but a distant backing singer.
Will try with grapefruit tomorrow.

Works great with a ruby red gapefrit slice as well.

I did finish it with pink grapefruit peel and it matched perfectly.
