  • Like a bouquet
  • Juicy and light, as you'd expect. Would make a good brunch cocktail. The rum and falernum version For A Few Flowers More is an even better complement or sub. — ★★★★★

Thanks. I've been reading a lot about this era and the Murphys in particular are full of great anecdotes and recipes (plus I adore Murphy's painting "Cocktail," which is my photo on this site).

I like his paintings too--in fact I saw and enjoyed the exhibition mentioned in the link. I'm an art historian and I've actually done a fair amount of archival research on artists of that exact era, but never picked up a cocktail recipe before!

  • Death and Co cocktail. S&C is super funky but it kind of works in this drink, especially once it dilutes.
  • Quite tasty
  • Superb! Balanced and tasty. Made with OFTD plantation rhum. — ★★★★★
  • 12/29/16: Good, might still need to warm up to S&C. Improved as it sat on ice a bit.
  • A worthy variant. The afterburn of the overproof rum is countered nicely by the desserty finish of the Carpano Antica. — ★★★★

<br />What a drink! Incredible in taste, and easy going down. I've imbibed the traditional Negroni, and I can't count all of its variations I've swallowed. Most were either good or very good. But this one is the best of them all. Even though the Smith & Cross rum is overproofed, it blends unbelieveabley well with the Campari and Vermouth. For the vermouth I used Vya sweet, a topshelf vermouth I have been using for years. I have the Carpano, and I will be using it the next time I make a Kingston Negroni--which will be within 8 hours. For those looking for a new mixology adventure, this is the one to take. Enjoy!

  • Nice but Campari overpowers it a bit. I added 1/2 oz. more Byrrh. More Byrrh, more better... also I used anejo tequila, cuz why not?
  • A bit thick and syrup-y to me. The gin in a traditional Negroni might be a better blend. Added orange bitters.
