when you're in the mood for a cognac cocktail you needn't look much further.
i think this just proves the genius of the last word. this is perfectly nice but the cointreau makes it sharper and less rounded than the OG. it also pushes it towards margarita territory, which is not needed for a last word. maraschino is king.
I had some of the strawberry Campari left. Tried this recipe with St George terroir gin and it took this to a whole new level. The forest flavours come over the top of the strawberry and remind it that a negroni was never meant to be that sweet.
i steeped the strawberries (quartered) for a day or so before muddling. they came through with real presence. flavours work well but orange is far, far superior. decent enough drink, just not to my taste.
