Sour Cherry Negroni

Hawksmoor’s head of bars and drink co-creator Liam Davy chose the classic Negroni to celebrate one of the bar’s favorite fruits. The Sour Cherry Negroni builds on the drink by adding acid-adjusted cherry juice and crème de noyaux. “A very classic Negroni with layers of juniper and a delicate bitterness, this drink then delivers a big hit of cherry stone and fruit with a hint of tangy sourness on the finish,” he says.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. London dry gin
  • 3/4 oz. sweet vermouth
  • 3/4 oz. Campari
  • 1/4 oz. crème de noyaux (Hawksmoor uses Tempus Fugit)
  • 1/4 oz. acid-adjusted cherry juice
  • Tools:mixing glass, barspoon, strainer
