I made this cocktail for this year’s World Class competition. One of my favorite original cocktails I’ve made without a doubt. Glad it got me into top U.S 50 for this year’s World Class! Prompt for this round was to create a meal-paired aperitif cocktail and this is what I came up with. In a loose way, I think of it as a sort of negroni smash. Cheers!
