Cariño

Recipe from “Strong, Sweet and Bitter” by Cara Devine who writes, “This is a Negroni twist I make for a more dessert-style take on the bittersweet blueprint. It had remained nameless until I featured it in a video, when the Cariño was suggested as merging my name and one of the ingredients–plus it means ‘affection’ in Spanish, which is definitely how I feel about Negroni variations in general!”

Cariño

  • Total time: 5 Minutes
  • Servings: 1 Drink

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Aged Rum
  • 1 oz Amaro Nonino
  • 1 oz Cocchi Americano
  • 2 Dashes Bitters (see note)
  • Orange Zest Twist, for garnish

Directions

  • 1)

    Add all the ingredients (except garnish) to a mixing glass filled with ice and stir until desired dilution.

  • 2)

    Fold the orange zest twist over the top to expel the oils, then use as a garnish.

Notes

From the book: “I use a local cacao and nut bitters, but Angostura would work as well.”
