I cannot imagine a better Negroni riff. Smith and Cross really delivered once more.

SUCH a good drink! Simon when you work out the ABV are you including the water from dilution?

Yes, for this cocktail at 27%.

This is our favourite Negroni. We use Xaymaca Special Dry Pot Still. What that lacks in over-proof it makes up for in strength and complexity of aroma and flavour.

This is intense, but I like it. Strong Smith & Cross funk up front, followed by bittersweet, slightly herbal orange and wine notes on the back-end, effectively mellowing out some of the rougher notes you can get from Smith & Cross.

Tried making this with Plantation O.F.T.D., which was the closest I had to a Jamaican overproof rum. It did not disappoint!

It takes an assertive spirit to stand up to Campari in an equal parts drink, but Smith & Cross is more than up for the task. This is a great drink, deftly balancing funk and bitterness with the underlying support of sweetness from the vermouth.

Had this awhile back with Smith & Cross; it's good... Just tried this twice with Hamilton 151. 3/4 parts 151 to one part of the other two was the best blend... I'm dreaming of trying 1.5 parts Doctor Bird in this, hmm. Will report back. (11 Jan 2024, 9:38a)

Pretty much like inhaling the smoke of a jungle fire, in the best possible way.
