Strawberry Rhubarb Negroni Recipe
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS
Note: All spirits are infused with strawberries and rhubarb.
1 oz Ford’s Gin
1 oz Rosé Vermouth
½ oz Campari
½ oz Cocchi Americano
1 dash of Rhubarb Bitters
Strawberry and orange slice, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
For the infusion:
To infuse the spirits, take about 1 ½ cup of sliced strawberries, 1½ cup thickly-sliced rhubarb, and 1 ⅔ cup of liquor and place in an airtight jar. Let sit for about three to five days. When ready to use, strain out the rhubarb and strawberries.
For the cocktail:
Stir all ingredients together with ice, then strain into a rocks glass with one large ice cube. Garnish with a strawberry and orange wheel, then enjoy! We recommend taking the traditional Italian route and pairing this negroni with pizza.
