The Kingston Negroni is a cocktail made with equal parts rum, sweet vermouth, and Campari, usually served over ice (or “on the rocks”), and garnished with a twisted orange peel. The difference between a standard Negroni and a Kingston Negroni is Jamaican-style rum in place of gin.

The drink originated in 2009 when Joaquín Simó made the concoction for Eric Seed, a spirits importer.1

Ingredients

  • 1 oz (30 ml) Jamaican rum (Smith & Cross is recommended)
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Campari
  • 1 oz (30 ml) sweet vermouth (Carpano Antica is recommended)
  • 1 long, twisted orange peel for garnish

As always, please drink responsibly.
