November - Negroni
Negroni
Definitely for a more mature palate – the Negroni is an intense yet sublime cocktail. The bitterness of the Campari and earthiness of the vermouth prevail, however the botanicals of the gin and sweetness of the orange add a welcomed freshness. Those who sample a Negroni tend to sit in two camps; you either love it or you hate it! It’s an acquired taste. The complex and rich flavour can be off-putting for some, but in the end, its distinct character has led it to be one of the world’s most enjoyed cocktails.
