The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Every October, Brockman’s Gin proclaims Brocktober! This means that for every Brocktail sold 1 € is donated to aid German flood victims. On top of that, it is also a cocktail challenge and for each like Brockman’s donates 10 cents. Here is my entry which I based on red liquorice sweets from Denmark.
Right after Negroni Week, there comes another week honouring a great gin cocktail: Bee’s Knees Week. Bar Hill Gin started this in 2017 and it is also a sustainability initiative. For each post with the hashtag #beeskneesweek Caledonian Spirits will plant one square foot of bee habitat.
So far I have written about the classic Negroni and its variations from other barkeepers. So, here are two variations from myself. While the first one shows how I would prepare your Negroni if you would be my guest, the second one takes everything a bit further. Some even would say too far…
