Indigo Jack
A vibrant applejack sour built around fresh blueberry, bright citrus, and aromatic thyme. Blueberry and apple arrive together on the palate before thyme...

How was this Negroni? I'm hoping to source some good swaps for your local delights. (plum bitter aperitivo? be still my heart)

To be honest, we're not fans of the classic Negroni recipe and we don't have a sweet tooth. So why we are tooling around with lemon syrup in this drink is a bit of a mystery. But never mind, "to boldly go" as the inventor of the deep fried Mars Bar might have said. We pushed it back towards the classic by substituting a bolder Vermouth Amaro, Cocchi, for the Cardamaro, increasing the red bitter to 22.5ml and upping the lemon syrup to 7.5ml. Maybe think of it as a frivolous and fun dalliance between Florence and Capri.

Hope it holds up to the anticipation. I had to really experiment to get that vibrant blueberry flavor and deep color. Its good to enjoy the work!
30ml Never Never Gin
30ml Cardamaro
17.5ml Tanica red bitter aperitivo
2.5ml lemon syrup
The Gin is a downunder (and, in our unashamedly biased view, excellent) double distilled version of a London dry, with a slightly higher ABV than is usually found. The Tanica is a downunder aperitivo made from Davidson's Plum (a local tropical fruit) and Strawberry Gum leaf. Campari will will be more austere and bitter, Tempus Fugit less bitter and more fruity.
