This recipe is featured in Decoding the Cocktail Menu: 5 Steps to Ordering a Drink You’ll Love
One of the many things we love about the Negroni is the way it serves as a template for other recipes, like this one. If you’re a St. Germain lover, use it as your gateway to whiskey. If you’re a whiskey lover, let it bring out your softer side.
Ingredients
- 30 ml (1 fl. ounce) blended Scotch whiskey
- 30 ml (1 fl. ounce) St. Germain
- 30 ml (1 fl. ounce) sweet vermouth
- Brandied cherry, for garnish-- make it a genuine Luxardo cherry or similar, not one of those bright red ones from the top of a sundae.
Preparation
1. Combine the whiskey, St. Germain, and vermouth in a mixing glass.
2. Add ice to the level of the liquid.
3. Stir until the ice has noticeably melted.
4. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish.
Roberts & June
Roberts & June call Washington D.C. home and spend their days doing policy work, making things like education and upward mobility accessible. They spend their nights mixing drinks, trying to make cocktails more accessible. In addition to a well-stocked bar, they own many bikes, have less-than-pleasant thoughts about winter (after surviving more than a dozen of them in Boston), and dream about spending a summer in France.
