Frederic Yarm made the Maria Bonita in 2025 during Negroni Week, taking the cachaça, apple brandy and cinnamon of a recent Cinnamon Girl cocktail and giving them a Negroni structure, with Erick Castro's Babbo's Toddy as a flavour guide. It is named for Maria Bonita, who rode with the bandit Lampião in Brazil around 1930, a story that carries the weight in Brazil that Bonnie and Clyde's does in the United States.
