Kingston Negroni | Local Cocktail From New York City, United States of America | TasteAtlas

Kingston Negroni

Kingston is a rum-based Negroni variation. The drink is made with Jamaican rum, sweet vermouth, and Campari. Equal amounts are added to a glass filled with ice. The combination is stirred until chilled, and it should be strained into an ice-filled glass.


Kingston is typically garnished with an orange twist. This rum twist on the famed Negroni was created in 2013 by Joaquín Simó, who was working at Death & Co, a popular cocktail bar in New York. Simó got the idea when he got a bottle of Smith & Cross, overproof Jamaican rum.


He says that the cocktail is best made with Smith & Cross and Carpano Antica vermouth.
