The cocktail world changed when, over a century ago, Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender in Florence to stiffen an Americano by replacing the soda water with gin. The aptly named Negroni has been elevated to iconic cocktail status - so much so, we've built a gift around it.
Matt Hranek, author of The Negroni: A Love Affair with a Classic Cocktail, intones in his book this love song to his favorite drink and offers a curated collection of recipes, both the classic and dozens of variations, deviations, and delicious reinterpretations. The proper glass is key, and here you'll find a pair of elegant crystal Negroni glasses for serving your drink in style. Crude Small Batch Bitters Sycophant Orange & Fig Bitters are an updated take on the classic orange bitters. Finished with North Carolina figs, they have a sweet citrus taste up front, and finish with earth tones and vanilla bean. A few drops adds an extra layer of complexity and aromatics to the inimitable Negroni. They can also be used as an orange bitters in other classic cocktails. Finally, enhance the scent, taste, and look of your drink with a crispy orange slice from hand-picked California oranges.
A great gift for the lover of this Italian classic!
