The Cherry Tart Negroni, by Tyler Lewis at Pittsburgh’s Jackworth Ginger Beer, is a vibrant version of the traditional Negroni recipe. It uses tart cherry juice and cherry bitters for all those fans of pucker-faces out there. The result is a burst of sweet and sour that then comes alive on your tastebuds.
Traditionally speaking, the Negroni recipe starts with equal parts Campari, gin, and sweet red vermouth, and then always garnished with an orange wheel. But, we’re taking some liberties here with new additions and substitutions, so stick along for the ride and end up with a unique, new cocktail recipe.
What are Bada Bing Cherries?
Bada Bing Cherries are a variety of cherry from Tillen Farms that are known for concentrated sweetness and vibrant flavor. They are burgundy in color and nearly twice the size of maraschinos. Bada Bing Cherries are usually only available for a short growing season, but you can find them online year-round. These tasty beauties are perfect for adding a touch of glamour to cocktails, snacking straight from the jar, and can be a. great addition for using in a variety of other recipes.
