Creator Ryan Maybee from Kansas City’s Manifesto has this to say about his inspiration: “It’s clearly a simple riff on a Negroni. Bright, strong, bittersweet. I’m a proud citizen of Kansas City, MO, and I’m fascinated by the history here. The name is in reference to a jazz duo in KC during the 1920’s and 30s. The drink has been on our menu here since 2009, and is still one of our best selling cocktails.”

I can see why.  This fruitier Negroni goes down easy.  I only wish I could listen to the brothers jamming away while I sip this libation.
