About
This cocktail was created by Brandon Bramhall (@friendzelwashington) at Attaboy (@attaboynashville) in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2021. Structurally, it reads like a tropicalized Kingston Negroni, pairing a split Jamaican rum base with a red bitter and sweet vermouth, then bringing banana into the mix. The overproof rum gives it enough heat and funk to stand up to all that richness, while Bruto Americano contributes gentian, citrus, and a woodsy bitterness. The banana is present without turning the drink into dessert, making this one boozy, bitter, and very well balanced.Cheers y’all!
