Love Negronis and love this variation!

This refreshing drink is simple to make, perfect on a warm evening. Very much enjoyed the background story, too!

Thank you, Simon. The new recipe is my preference. Confession: I'm not a "pure" Martini lover, unlike my mother who enjoyed hers Churchill style ("just show the vermouth bottle to the glass.") Finding the previous version dryer, I enjoyed your revised mix more.

What a surprise! I've been trying to find use for the banana liqueur and cognac languishing in my bar. Bought the liqueur to try and replicate my dad's banana daiquiris (without success) and the inexpensive cognac for various mixed drinks. But until now I hadn't found anything I really liked using either. It's amazing how both spirits were transformed into something delicious, with a little sherry help! Many thanks!!
