The idea for a rum-based Negroni was first popularized by bartender Joaquín Simó, according to Punch. Jamaican rum offers big fruity, smoky, and sweet flavors, which turn the dry cocktail into something warm and tropical that would be just as welcome in a poolside cabana as the original is in a dark city bar (via Esquire). Carried around the country by the cocktail revival of the 2010s and events like Negroni Week, the rum-based, or Kinston, Negroni has become a cult hit and an essential variation for any Negroni or rum lover to try.
The fun of a rum Negroni is how it runs in the opposite direction of the traditional recipe's alchemy. Imbibe says the spicy funk (or hogo) and strong flavor of rum cut down the drink's bitterness instead of complimenting it the way gin does. While we would never discourage you from sticking to the classic, once you give rum a shot in your Negroni you may never consider gin again.
