The Tiki Negroni at Kevin Brennan’s Maryland House will lift your spirit through dark, cold nights. This Negroni uses aged rum instead of gin, establishing a core that is sweet yet rich in character. There’s fan service for Negroni lovers courtesy of Campari, but the bar fat-washes the bitter amaro in coconut oil to smooth its edge and give the drink a silky feel. Notes of coconut encourage daydreams of tropical getaways and cocktails on the beach, and the reverie is enhanced by banana-infused sweet vermouth and vivacious orange and tiki bitters. If you can’t escape the St. Louis winter, this tonic at least makes summer feel reassuringly within grasp.
