I think this drink is better if you 1.5- 2X the sweetness. These specs leave it really dry if you’re expecting something like a bramble.

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.
Never heard of anything being able to steamroll Campari, but I do tend to split my Smith and Cross with Plantation 5 to mellow it out.
This is great, probably technically a bit sweet but my girlfriend absolutely loved it. Added to favorites!
Fantastic cocktail, made to these exact specs.
