Curious why this gin appears in so many recipes, including old and tested cocktails e.g Martini Special and Martinez with London Dry Gin (when Rutte is not London based). What is it that makes it so special as it’s new to me.

Negroni Cocktail

The negroni is my second most favourite cocktail. I like it heavy and rich. After trialling various brands for me it has to be tanqueray gin, Campari and Cochi de Torino vermouth or Antica formula. Recently I had a negroni at The Connaught in London where they use Galiano L’aperativo in place of the Campari, but I see that brand it’s not mentioned on this website. It was delicious.
