Negroni

Bitter, balanced and unmistakably classic, the Negroni is one of the world's great gin cocktails.

Our version combines equal parts Backwoods High Country Gin, sweet vermouth and bitter orange liqueur. It's simple to make, beautifully balanced and best enjoyed slowly over ice.

Ingredients

  • 30ml Backwoods High Country Gin
  • 30ml sweet vermouth
  • 30ml bitter orange liqueur
  • Ice
  • Orange, to garnish

Method

  1. Add the gin, sweet vermouth and bitter orange liqueur to a rocks glass.
  2. Fill the glass with ice.
  3. Stir for around 10 seconds.
  4. Garnish with a wedge of orange.

The Backwoods Negroni

Equal parts gin, vermouth and bitter orange liqueur make the Negroni one of the easiest classic cocktails to remember — and one of the hardest to get tired of.

Backwoods High Country Gin brings its own Australian botanical character to the mix, while the sweet vermouth and bitter orange liqueur provide richness, sweetness and a distinctive bitter citrus finish.

No shaker, no fuss. Just stir, garnish and enjoy.
