Notes

Negroni Week 2025 creation.

History

I became inspired by the cachaça, apple brandy, and cinnamon trio of the Cinnamon Girl that I had made recently, and I merged parts of that with a Negroni given that it was Negroni Week and the cinnamon-Campari duo of Erick Castro's Babbo's Toddy. I dubbed this one the Maria Bonita which was the nickname of Maria Delia who joined Lapião and his bandits in criminal adventures in Brazil circa 1930; Maria & Lampião became entrenched in Brazilian folk history akin to Bonnie & Clyde in the United States.
