01 September 2026
By Alessio Simonini, Brand ambassador for Distilleria Negroni and bar manager of the sake cocktail bar Sakagura, Milan
For the cocktail
- 30 ml Amaro Trevisano, Distilleria Negroni
- 15 ml Sloe gin, Elephant
- 10 ml Homemade ginger and lemongrass syrup
- Top Ginger ale, Fever tree
Method
Shake & Strain
Glassware
Double rock glass
Garnish
Fresh lemongrass and pickled pink ginger
Procedure
Combine all ingredients (except ginger ale) in a shaker. Lightly shake and single strain into the double rock with ice. Top with ginger ale to give the drink a nice spicy note. Decorate with pickled pink ginger and fresh lemongrass.
Highly drinkable and refreshing, with moderate alcohol content due to the use of Amaro Trevisano, Distilleria Negroni, 27% abv, a traditional digestif extracted from an infusion of late-growing Treviso Red Radicchio I.G.P. The tonic/bitter properties of this maceration process make it an excellent product to stimulate the appetite and aid digesting, and give it its purifying qualities.
This drink is then enriched with nice hints of wild prune, black pepper and toasted almonds, which add up to home-made ginger and lemongrass syrup to define the rich and spicy flavour of this cocktail.
A FRESH HIGHBALL THAT'S GOOD FOR DAY AND NIGHT!
