St. George's Negroni

Port and aromatised wine add red berry fruit flavours to this riff on a Negroni

Had been wondering how port snd gin could go together and here it is. Lacking Dubonnet I ended up with port, punt e mes and, following Andy’s idea, 4 drops Bob’s chocolate bitters. Pleasantly Porty. Dried blood orange slice as garnish. Will return once Dubonnet is again in house.

Even better as written. A new favourite negroni variation. Rich and sumptuous. I did bump up the gin to 40, and could potentially dial down the Campari a little, but that’s the existential conflict of all negronis. Top stuff.

Robust is right! Almost only a Negroni by name, more like a bittersweet digestive. By the way, is Dubonnet a poor man's port?

PS A dash of cocoa bitters goes nicely.

Excellent aperitivo. Used St. George's Dry Rye Gin. Created a very flavourful cocktail. Easy to sip and excellent with a nice sharp cheddar cheese.
