Little twists on popular cocktails can open your world up to so many new possibilities. The Negroni is a staple in a lot of bar and restaurants cocktail menu because of its bitter but sweet herbal appeal that fits in well with a good meal. Swapping out Gin for Rum in this recipe is a small change , but one that will make a huge difference to your Negroni experience.
The type of Rum you choose for this recipe will take it in different directions. A Light Gold Rum such as Havana Club Gold is ideal if you just want to add a slight edge and not take away from the classic Negroni flavour profile. Something like a Jamaican Rum will add more harsh stronger tones and a bit more sweetness. Whatever you choose it will give you nice extra taste to the Negroni you are used to.
As well as Rum you can experiment with other core spirits in a Negroni and see if you like the results. Home bartending is all about being creative and making drinks your own. So try this out a play with different combinations to see if you can come up with your on personal Negroni recipe !
