Review:

A classic Negroni turned festive with added Christmassy flavours. A proper Christmas cracker!

History:

Adapted from a recipe shared with us on Christmas Day 2021 by Andreas Beil who, on our Negroni page, told us, "I would like to share a variety replacing half (or even the full amount) of Campari with Becherovka liqueur. It makes a great sipper for winter times with spicy cloves and cinnamon. To be honest, I came up with it on Christmas eve 2020 when I ran out of Campari and was looking for a bitter replacement. Because of that true story and the gingerbread taste, I suggest calling it a Christmas Negroni. Cheers and Merry Christmas to all discerning drinkers."

To amplify fruity festive spice, I couldn't resist adding sloe gin and falernum. After all, Christmas is a time for overindulgence!
