Inspired by the Strawberry on Acid, I made a strawberry & lemon zest "shrub" with balsamic vinegar (2:1) and mixed 1/2 oz each of the Rosa and the shrub with 1 oz of Gin and topped with prosecco to make a variation on the French 75. The Rosa is king, and is a very interesting addition to most drinks. Also excellent when diluted with ice
Used Plantation Pineapple rum and Founders All Day Haze (4.9% session, plenty of tropical citrus flavors). Not just the best beer cocktail I've had, one of the best refreshing drinks I've ever had outright. Summer can't come soon enough!
I've tried this with the D.O.M. and Drambuie and both are very good. I didn't have either tonight so I tried it with a coffee liqueur, and I think I actually prefer it like this. Perhaps less cigar, more aromatic/complex coffee? Either way, worth a try.
2:1 is far too much Italicus for my taste, but 8:1 or so helps make cheaper sparkling wines very interesting
Up for debate of course, but I would argue an orange wedge/slice is more important to a Negroni than an olive/lemon zest/onion/etc is to a martini. Truly the fourth ingredient of this drink
May be slightly sacrilegious to say, but this has become my favorite vermouth to use in a Negroni. Adds a perfect amount of sweetness and doesn't overwhelm the Campari or gin.
Finding your article on oleo saccharums/ sherbets has forever changed this drink for me. Far simpler to make for a crowd and I would argue even better. Absolutely delicious!
One of my all time favorites, but is the honey-ginger syrup recipe above really only 1:1? Seems strange since the gold rush and your version both use a 3:1 honey syrup.
For years I didn't like dirty martinis at all. But this gin along with a strong dry vermouth (8:1) and a barspoon of Bitter Truth olive bitters has made me a convert. Absolutely amazing.
Huge fan of scotch and the Negroni, but never thought of putting them together. Made it with 2 parts Johnnie Walker Black and 1 part each Campari and Cocchi di Torino. Looking forward to trying it with a single malt, as that may become my new favorite drink.
