We absolutely love a Negroni, the bitterness with light undertones of sweetness from the orange peel - it really doesn’t get much better…until now!
The origin of this drink dates back to Florence, Italy in 1919 where legend has it Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender friends to strengthen his favourite cocktail - the Americano. He asked his friend to replace the soda water with gin, the bartender did this and decided to add orange rind into the drink. Alas, the Negroni was born.
Our Cold Brew Coffee Negroni stays true to the drinks roots, with a little twist that will keep you feeling fresh and alert for hours!
