A chocolate-covered strawberry Negroni.

This decadent chocolate-strawberry Negroni hails from Bar La Providencia in Santiago, Chile. Cacao-infused vermouth and strawberry-infused Campari balance out the classic bitter notes of the drink. At the Santiago bar, the drink arrives garnished with a housemade strawberry Campari gummy. But for home use, simply dust a strawberry gummy with cocoa powder.

1 oz. strawberry-infused Campari
1 oz. cacao-infused rosso vermouth

Tools:mixing glass, barspoon, strainer
