General Manager: Alex Rosario

Cocktail: Basta Negroni

Recipe:

  •  One pineapple
  •  1 L bottle Campari
  •  1 L bottle of Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth
  •  1 L bottle of 1751 Gin Lane London Dry Gin
  •  5 5-gram Sugar in the Raw packets (total 25g)

To serve: Add Negroni cocktail to ice in a shaker, stir don’t shake, then pour in a rocks or martini glass. Garnish with a touch of orange peel.

“Our barrel-aged Negroni is a perfect example of taking a classic Italian cocktail and adding a more approachable twist to it,” said General Manager Alex Rosario. “The oak of the aging process balances perfectly with the slight sweetness of the pineapple-infused Campari. This is a perfect cocktail to enjoy before having dinner.”
