This Negroni Will Transport You To The Italian Riviera
We’re officially halfway through spring – which means summer is just around the corner! And what better way to celebrate this very important milestone that with a refreshing citrusy drop. Our pick for a cocktail this Friday is a spin on a classic – a Blood Orange Rosemary Negroni. Transporting you directly to a summer spent on the Italian Riviera, this cocktail is characterised by its sweet, sour and bitter flavour profile – perfectly refreshing while still keeping it interesting. Whip one up this evening for your Friday Zoom Work Drinks or to wind down with your bubble buddies.
