Kinsey Report
Stir, strain, straight up or on the rocks
A simple 50/50 cocktail suggested by an eGullet poster. Sam called it Patios initially, but then it was published in Imbibe and referred to as the Kinsey Report. Previously published here as the Sam Lloyd Kinsey.

As FrogPrincesse points out on eGullet, my suggestion makes a drink very much like Allan Katz' Negroni riff the Rope Burn, which I've since added to the database: http://www.kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/rope-burn
Made with Campari, I too found it syrupy, but no more so than a Negroni, and balanced by the crazy aromas and flavors. Adding another part of dry vermouth sounds like a great idea, however, as I've found that doing that can often elongate and settle all-booze drinks that otherwise have too much going on.
Unrelatedly, I believe Stew's right about SLK's preferred name for this drink being Patois.
