Inventor richard boccato of los angeles bar clacson named this drink for a title given to high-status caribbean crime bosses. Somehow, its fitting the don gorgon is tough and bracing, with funky flavors from the cachaa and a touch of tropical sunlight from the brown sugar syrup (demerara syrup, ideally). Boccato calls for aperol, and thats what we stuck with. Youd have to be a real bitter-lover to want to make it with campari or gran classico, but if thats your jam youd probably love it.
