This is a re-stir of a friend’s drink on Instagram who taught me more about photography lighting in the last week than I'd learned up to this point. This drink is a “Black Negroni meets Boulevardier” that really works with a touch of Branca and what may be my favorite amaro, Ramazzotti. Gin and Rye make up a delightful split base and finished with Angostura and orange oil this cocktail was quite a delicious sip. Simple yet complex, overall delicious, and definitely something I would make again. ...

Editor's Note

A Negroni-Boulevardier hybrid that swaps sweet vermouth for a double dose of amaro. Ramazzotti's dark sweetness and Fernet Branca's minty bite create a deeply complex, bitter, and rewarding sip.
