A riff on the classic Negroni from Vietnam, which brilliantly set the richness of sloe gin against bone dry fino sherry while harnessing the herbal bitterness...
This was a great aperitivo cocktail, we absolutely loved it. Just that the Italian guest of my party was quite startled with the name since apparently "ino" is a suffix in Italian to express something is small or cute and the previous part of the name equating the N-word in Italian. So yea an unfortunate wording for native Italian speakers apparently.
I love Suze and I love good Sloe Gin. This is a marriage made in Fino Heaven. Next time I'll give this a brief stir on ice and strain into a chilled coupe.
The original recipe specifies wedge but we preferred with a twist. I have amended the garnish specified above accordingly. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
