Dark Cherry Negroni
A classic Negroni gets a rich, fruity twist with Hive Mind Dark Cherry Mead. This cherry mead cocktail combines the botanical character of Tanqueray No. Ten and bittersweet Campari with the deep cherry notes of mead and a sharp, zingy cherry vinegar shrub.
The result is a sophisticated mead Negroni with the familiar bitter-sweet balance of a classic Negroni, lifted by bright acidity and dark fruit.
Ingredients:
- 25ml Tanqueray No. Ten
- 25ml Hive Mind Dark Cherry Mead
- 25ml Campari
- 7.5ml homemade cherry vinegar shrub
- Ice
- Orange peel, to garnish
Method:
Build the gin, Hive Mind Dark Cherry Mead, Campari and cherry vinegar shrub directly in a rocks glass filled with ice.
Stir well until chilled and diluted to taste. Express an orange peel over the surface of the cocktail to release its oils, then twist and use as a garnish.
This Dark Cherry Negroni is a simple way to bring mead into a classic cocktail, combining the traditional Negroni's bitter, botanical character with rich cherry fruit and natural honey sweetness.
