Here’s to my ongoing obsession of trying to make a clear Negroni using new ingredients. This is a cross between a Venetian Spritz (as seen in “Spritz!” by @taliabaiocchi / @lesliepariseau ) and a traditional Negroni. Just that slight salinity from the brine really balances this cocktail out. Recipe below! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• VENETIAN EN BLANC •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ▶︎ 1½ oz @stgeorgespirits Terroir Gin ▶︎ 1 oz @lillet Blanc ▶︎ 3/4 oz @luxardousa White Bitter ▶︎ 1 Barspoon Olive Brine ▶︎ 1 @jackrudycocktailco Queen Olive ▶︎ Dehydrated Orange Wheel •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Instructions: Combine Gin, Lillet, Bitter and brine in a mixing glass with ice. Stir for 10 seconds. Strain and pour the cocktail over a crystal clear ice cube and garnish with an olive and a dehydrated orange wheel.

These easy sunsets are killing me, but who says I can’t shoot in the dark? 😘 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THE BOULEVARDIER •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ▶︎ 1 oz @buffalotrace Bourbon ▶︎ 1 oz @cinzano Sweet Vermouth ▶︎ 1 oz @campariusa Campari ▶︎ 1 Orange Twist •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice.
