“My goal with this drink was to create a savory Negroni by skipping the typical orange and grapefruit citrus pops that can become a crutch when creating bitter, stirred aperitivos. The flavors are centered around the idea of an olive brine with the Olive Leaf gin, fennel from the Finocchietto and balsam fir and rosemary notes from the Bruto Americano. All combining to make a herbaceous, savory and unexpected Negroni variation.” —TE
