Two Thursdays ago, I decided to make a recipe that I had spotted in a call for riffs on Joaquin Simo's 2009 Kingston Negroni at Death & Co. That drink was the Improved Kingston Negroni crafted by Sother Teague at Amor y Amargo. Once prepared, it met the nose with bright orange oils over smoky, bitter Chinese rhubarb root aromas. Next, grape with hints of darker notes on the sip slipped into funky rum quickly transitioning to bitter herbal, smoky, and allspice flavors on the swallow with an orange and smoke finish.
