The Good Ship Badachro
This twist on a classic Negroni celebrates all things coastal, with each part coming from a Distillery by the water. Barcelona’s El Bandara Red Vermut brings a delicious mix of fruits and herbs with just enough spice, balanced superbly with Calabria’s Vecchio Amaro Del Capo earthy and beautifully bitter notes. With fennel and wild thyme coming from Badachro Coastal Gin this is a wonderfully complex, savoury addition to aperitivo hour.
Garnish with toasted rosemary and some grapefruit peel to bring earthiness and citrus tones.
INGREDIENTS
25ML El Bandarra Vermut Red
25ML Vecchio Amaro Del Capo
Garnish: Samphire and Grapefruit
METHOD
Add equal parts of the gin, vermouth and amaro to ice in a mixing glass and stir for between 20 and 40 seconds, depending on personal preference. Strain into an old fashioned or rocks glass with a big ice cube.
Negroni Blanco
This White Negroni is light, bittersweet and floral. The fruity and herbaceous notes brought about by the vermouth balance brilliantly with the flavoursome, Badachro Storm Strength Gin. Suze brings some wonderful subtle spice to the mix. A basil leaf is the ideal garnish to compliment this Negroni.
INGREDIENTS
25ML Apros White Vermouth
25ML Suze Amaro
Garnish: Lemon peel is the obvious but a Basil leaf would bring out
METHOD
Add 20ml Badachro Storm Strength Gin, to 25ml Apros Vermut and 25ml Suze to ice in a mixing glass and stir for between 20 and 40 seconds, depending on personal preference. Strain into an old fashioned or rocks glass with a big ice cube.
Smokey Boulevardier
The ultimate “Negroni riff”, substituting Badachro Gin with Bad na h-Achlaise Highland Single Malt. In this case our Tuscan Oak finish brings slightly smokey notes to the drink. Combined with Londinio Amaro, from London and Bristol based Aperitivo! Co. Turin Sweet Vermouth this is a British made, Italian inspired cocktail. Londinio’s bold amaro adds to the chocolatey richness from the vermouth which is completed by the mix of sweetness and light peat from the Bad na h-Achlaise Tuscan Oak.
A simple orange slice gives a classic garnish.
INGREDIENTS
25ML Bad na h-Achlaise Single Malt Tuscan Oak
25ml Aperitivo! Co. Turin Sweet Vermouth
25ml Londinio Amaro
METHOD
Add 25ml Bad na h-Achlaise Highland Single Malt Tuscan Oak, 25ml Londinio Amaro and 25ml Aperitivo! Co. Turin Sweet Vermouth to ice in a mixing glass and stir for between 30 and 60 seconds, depending on personal preference. Strain into an old fashioned or rocks glass with a big ice cube.
