Notes
Adapted from Bar Leone (Hong Kong)'s Tropicale, originally built on Jamaican rum.
Choeng Doi Blanc brings more grassy brightness than a heavier Jamaican rum, lifting the Campari and banana liqueur rather than sitting under them; volume bumped slightly from 25ml to 30ml.
History
A tropical-leaning Negroni variation from Bar Leone (Hong Kong)'s regularly rotating Negroni selection.
