  • Improved to my palate with addition of 0.5 oz mezcal
  • Yes, it is syrupy sweet, but to me there's enough tingle and heat on the back end to keep that from being a problem. A good use of S&C.
  • Bittersweet symphony! The best use of S&C and Bonal I've tasted so far — ★★★★★

Allan when I tagged him on Instagram attributed this to Ron Dollete. The reference link is dead, so I couldn't see what the article stated.

Wayback machine to the rescue.

That article also credits Dollette:

So I like to always have a negroni riff on Caña’s menu. Makes it easier to realize my goal of one day having a calendar with a negroni for each day of the year. For the spring I selected a drink created by one of our members, Ron Dollete a/k/a Lush Angeles. More than your average barfly blogger, Ron trained with some real deal bartenders to learn the craft and Rope Burn is proof
