The Negroni was conceived well before the invention of a Dry Gin, so Count Negroni would most likely made his cocktails from a barrel aged Gin distilled from wine spirit. To be true to its origins, this Barrel Aged Negroni uses a red wine from the Canberra region, distilled with juniper and more than a dozen other herbs. It is blended with vermouth and bitters and aged with heavily charred oak, to fuse and soften the complex spice flavours. It is best served on the rocks, with a dash of soda, a wedge of orange and a burnt stick of cinnamon. 

Grilled Peach Negroni

The Canberra Distillery Negroni tastes amazing with @fevertreeaustralia Spiced Orange Ginger Ale. To make it even prettier, sprinkle a few peach halves with brown sugar and place under the grill for a few mins. Top your drink with the sweet caramelised peach and a hint of fresh, vibrant basil. Taste sensation!
