History:
Adapted from a recipe created by Jojo Colona at Attaboy bar in Manhattan, New York City. Jojo's original recipe calls for equal parts Doctor Bird Jamaican pot still rum, Amargo-Vallet amaro, lemon juice and ginger juice syrup.
Review:
A riff on Sam Ross' Mosquito. Like in the original, fiery ginger proves more than capable of seeing off an assertive bittersweet amaro and characterful pot still Jamaican rum. Beware, the Lantern Fly is sap-sucking!
