| As Ollie is currently busy with various acting and singing ventures, I thought I should step in and do a much needed cocktail of the month. So what better for my first Cocktail of the Month than to make one with Amaro Nonino (my Spirit of the Month). I was playing around with the idea of a variant of a Negroni using Amaro. I made various permutations from the four ingredients: Amaro Nonino, Campari, Vermouth and Gin. My favourite option was actually leaving the Campari out, as the Amaro Nonino gave enough of the bitter edge that I was looking for. |
| As you can see I have kept the cocktail very simple: lots of ice, 3 ingredients and stir. |
 |
| Ingredients: |
| Ice |
| 1½ shots Amaro Nonino |
| 1½ shots Gin |
1½ shots Red Vermouth
(I prefer Chambéry,
but any good Vermouth will do) |
| Orange Peel (garnish) |
| |
| Creates One Serving |
|
|
| Equipment |
| - Shot Measure |
| - Chopping Board |
| - Knife |
| - Cocktail Spoon |
| - Old Fashioned Glass |
|
| Fill your Old Fashioned glass with ice. Don’t worry about putting too much ice in. |
 |
|
 |
Add into the glass a shot and a half of Gin, a shot and a half of Amaro Nonino, and a shot and a half of red Vermouth.
Stir gently with a spoon for half a minute. |
|
| And finally garnish with the orange peel, and enjoy in the sun. |
