The Right Hand was created by Michael McIlroy at Milk & Honey in New York City as a direct riff on the Negroni, swapping gin for aged rum. The addition of mole bitters is the recipe's secret weapon - Xocolatl bitters bridge the rum's sweetness and Campari's bitterness with a subtle cocoa-and-spice note that gin could never achieve.
