Kingston Negroni

Funky. Bitter. Delicious.

When Joaquín Simó invented the Kingston Negroni at New York’s Death & Co. in 2009, he did not intend to create a modern classic. However, with the equal-parts combination of funky Jamaican rum, sweet vermouth, and Campari, success became inevitable.

Join Bennett as he explores what makes this drink so delicious and how the rum plays an important role in a cocktail that typically celebrates Campari. Additionally, discover how you, too, can learn more about this cocktail and others from the elusive and exceptionally friendly Joaquín Simó in this episode of the Puppet Tavern.
