A Negroni for people who have had too many Negronis…”

You heard the man! Up next on Charleston’s tour of #NegroniWeek with campari south carolina is my buddy Kyle Degolyer (cousinkyled) at barmashchs with his vegetal take on a classic.

This recipe combines the smokiness of mezcal and combines them with the vegetal flavor profiles of bell pepper, Ancho Reyes and celery bitters.

Don’t forget you can grab this cocktail this week! Cheers y’all!

“A lighter rendition of the classic, the Alive and Well is more of an “orange” Negroni. aromatic, floral, herbaceous, and slightly fruity backed with Campari’s signature bitterness; it’s a fun, late-summer sipper.”

Don’t forget you can grab this cocktail at @beautiful_south__ this week! Cheers y’all!

The Sightseer

Y’all know how much I love to #partner with local spirits and I’m happy to bring you another original recipe with my good friends over at sutlerspiritsco- If you’ve never had it before, the gin itself is considered a contemporary or ‘western’ style gin which means its more citrus-forward than a traditional gin.

This cocktail is a bit of a departure from my usual, spirit forward cocktails because wanted to bring something a little fruitier, vegetal and balanced to the palate, while still letting the Sutler’s Gin shine through all the other complex flavors. Really enjoyed making this one and hope you try it out. (FYI, the juice can be bought off the shelf, no need for a fancy juicer, unless you really want to)
