Negroni

Bitterness arrives first, followed by orange peel, herbs and the pine-like character associated with gin. The texture sits between lean and rounded, while the finish stays firmly bittersweet. Choose it if you enjoy assertive aperitivo drinks; a Boulevardier moves the same idea toward whiskey warmth and extra weight.
