Forthave Spirits FIVE Single Batch 'a Negroni' 375ml, USA
$32.00
The story goes that in 1919 at a bar in Florence, Count Camillo Negroni asked the
bartender to strengthen his usual Americano (red bitter, sweet vermouth, soda) by
swapping the soda for gin. The bartender obliged and a cocktail was born.
Forthave’s version begins with our Red Apertivo, fortified with our Blue Gin and
softened with a house blended vermouth.
The Red Aperitivo is made with a layered blend of over 13 botanicals, including
Seville orange peel, gentian root, rhubarb, and aromatic spices, blended to create a
spirit that balances bitter, sweet, herbaceous and delicious. The Blue gin is a
botanical forward gin distilled with over 18 organic plants including juniper, lemon,
lavender, coriander, angelica and mint. It lightens the drink with subtle floral notes
and its rich texture lengthens the blend while the juniper tannins complement the
bitter citrus in the aperitivo. The vermouth was built on distillations of wine we
sourced from the Finger Lakes, aromatized with a base wine also from the Finger
Lakes, and topped up with a dash of a vermouth made in NY by Method Spirits.
One part of the Negroni was aged in barrels, another part aged in tanks, and a last
part made fresh, and blended in before bottling.
