A New favourite negroni, and a new favourite full stop! Brilliant use for sloe gin. Significantly more laid back than the standard negroni. Used select as the red bitter to emphasise the berry characters, and Cocchi Americano rosa was the closest vermouth I had, which I felt worked well. And good old beefeater gin.

A very subtle negroni and very well balanced. Sloe Gin adds another layer of flavour. Definitely will do again.
