Really enjoyed this lovely rum based light negroni style cocktail. Made with Havana club 3yo, Dubonnet, Lillet and an excellent homemade seville orange marmalade. The rum flavour comes through nicely and works well with the 2 ‘wines’ and the orange.
Based on Asher’s suggestion I tried this with mezcal and I like it! Adds a nice Smokey dimension. 22.5ml each Campari, lime juice, green chartreuse and mezcal, 5ml sugar (we like things sharp and bitter), pinch of salt. Perhaps ‘Amor y asesinato del puebla’ as I used Del Maguey Puebla?
This and the well oiled mai tai are my go to mai tai recipes, though I prefer them both served without the crushed ice. I like my cocktails strong and tasty and not too diluted. I’m also too lazy to make the crushed ice and the welsh weather rarely requires it!
