Kingston Americano

A bittersweet, refreshing Highball riff from Death & Co on Joaquin Simo’s modern classic Kingston Negroni that is perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day🍹🏝🌞🇯🇲
The bittersweet grapefruit pith notes of the Campari pair nicely with the ripe tropical fruit, brown sugar, and funk notes in the aged and overproof Jamaican rums. The addition of grapefruit flavors in this build (from trio of grapefruit liqueur, fresh juice, and grapefruit seltzer) complements the bittersweet Campari while adding acidity and juiciness. The seltzer also adds a refreshing effervescence
.75 oz Jamaican Overproof Rum (Wray & Nephew, Rum Fire, etc)
.25 oz Aged Jamaican Rum (Appleton Reserve, Hampden Estates, etc)
1 oz Campari (feel free to substitute your favorite red bittersweet aperitivo)
.75 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
.25 oz Grapefruit Liqueur (Giffard)
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled Collins glass with ice cubes. Top with 2-3 oz of grapefruit seltzer. Garnish with a grapefruit half wheel
