holiday rum negroni
a festive and warm negroni made with a rich golden rum instead of gin
Servings 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 ounce campari
- 1 ounce mt. gay eclipse rum
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth/vermouth rosso I’m no expert when it comes to the dizzying array of vermouths now available, mine is the inexpensive good enough from Trader Joes
- a few dashes orange bitters
- enough 151 to soak some orange peel
- orange peel pith removed
- cinnamon
- fire
Instructions
- soak the orange zest in a teaspoon of 151 rum so it’s good and flammable
- combine campari, rum, vermouth, and bitters in a squat glass, stir to combine
- add ice cubes, a large cube that sits out of the liquid a bit would be ideal
- set the zest orange on fire and place in the drink, while the orange is still burning sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the top so it sparks
- extinguish flames as necessary
- consume with good cheer
