jungle boulevard

1 oz Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum
1/2 oz Hamilton's Jamaican Pot Still Black Rum (1/4 oz Coruba + 1/4 oz Smith & Cross)
3/4 oz Campari
3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Fridays ago, I was perusing a set of online recipe flashcards for Craft & Commerce in San Diego when I came across the Jungle Boulevard. The recipe reminded me of a Right Hand with pineapple and dark Jamaican rum as the spirits and without the mole bitters (and of course the name suggests a rum Boulvardier), and it appeared on menus captured in Yelp photos between 2017 and 2019. Once assembled, the Jungle Boulevard wafted to the nose with orange oil over caramel and dark orange aromas. Next, grape and caramel notes on the sip uncovered pineapple, rum, caramel, and bitter orange flavors on the swallow.
