How to make it
- Stir all ingredients with ice and strain into an old-fashioned glass over one large ice cube.

- Use a funky Jamaican pot-still rum such as Smith & Cross.
Tip: Stir with plenty of cold, hard ice for 20 to 30 seconds. You want it chilled and silky, not cloudy.
About the Kingston Negroni
Joaquín Simó created it at Death & Co in New York in 2009, soon after Smith & Cross Jamaican rum reached the bar, and it went on the menu the following spring. The drink is named for Kingston, the Jamaican capital.
