From the Bartender

Dropping the white rum sharpens the focus on gin's botanicals and lets the Campari and sweet vermouth relationship - the classic Negroni backbone - shine clearly. The orgeat is used in a near-rinse quantity here, just enough to whisper almond sweetness without pulling the drink into tiki territory; resist the urge to increase it.
