History

A variation on Sam Ross' Mosquito. As in the original, strong ginger easily overcomes a bold bittersweet amaro and a flavourful pot still Jamaican rum. Caution: the Lantern Fly is sap-sucking!

Jojo Colona, of Attaboy in Manhattan, New York City, created this drink. Colona's original recipe specified equal measures of Doctor Bird Jamaican pot still rum, Amargo-Vallet amaro, lemon juice, and ginger juice syrup.
