bridgetown stomp

2 oz Cockspur 12 Year Rum (R.L. Seale 10 Year)
1/2 oz Cinzano Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
1/4 oz Campari
1/8 oz Amaro Ciociaro
1/8 oz 1:1 Demerara Syrup
2 dash Regan's Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with an orange twist.After having spotted an Amaro Ciociaro recipe in Gary Regan's The Negroni book that I could now make, I took note. Two Mondays ago, I decided it was time to make the Bridgetown Stomp by Julie Reiner. She created this drink when bartender Toby Maloney stopped into Lani Kai and gave her free reign. Soon, the Bridgetown Stomp became the bar's house Negroni. Given that it appeared like a less bitter and more complex Right Hand and the name reminded me of the Kingston Watusi, I was intrigued. In the glass, the twist proffered orange oil over caramel-toffee rum aromas. Next, caramel and grape on the sip gave way to rum and complex bitter flavors on the swallow with an orange finish.
