Il Legame Che Lega Cocktail
The antithesis both in appearance and flavor to the saccharine Cosmopolitans emblematic of the late ‘90s, the recent resurgence of that most classic bitter cocktail of them all, the Negroni, indicates a seismic (and welcome) shift in taste. This bitter medley (whose name means, the ties that bind) crafted by Brady Sprouse and Damon Dhanens of Seattle’s Barnacle Bar hinges on the essence of a Negroni, recasting it with a malty genever base and an amaro infused with smoked rhubarb.
