“This cocktail is a hybrid between a Boulevardier and a Negroni, and is inspired by one of my favourite gins. I've added whisky into my concoction to bring some smokiness, while the dryness creates more complexity.
To balance the drink, a small serve of Campari is added together with a pinch of sea salt, immediately suppressing the bitterness, and enhancing the sweet notes of the cocktail. A nice citrus orange twist is the perfect finish.”
