The bartender Joaquín Simó created this funky rum twist on the classic Negroni formula while working at Death & Co, a popular New York cocktail bar. According to Mr. Simó, Carpano Antica vermouth possesses enough strength of flavor to stand up to the powerful Smith & Cross, an overproof, pot-stilled Jamaican rum. —Robert Simonson

Use the Jamaican Campari. They make their own and a liter goes for $20 in most duty free shops in the Caribbean. Stronger proof similar flavor.

Sarah

Definitely want to use a good Jamaican rum

Natalie

It's perfect.

I love using Havana Club “Especial” and calling this a “Havana Negroni.” I have also substituted Calvados for the rum and have dubbed it a “Normandie Negroni” either way or for that matter with Jamaican rum it’s a fantastic cocktail.
