We are calling all Negroni enthusiasts and skeptics alike! This collaboration produced a game-changer: a tantalizing blend of strawberry's sweetness, basil's herbal allure, and Campari's signature bitterness. Embrace the twist, savor the harmony, and let this spring/summer elixir redefine your Negroni experience. Join us on a flavor-infusing journey, where classics evolve into extraordinary delights.

Ingredients:

1 ½ oz. Gin
1 ½ oz. Sweet Vermouth
1 ½ oz. Strawberry Basil Infused Campari
Orange Bitters (Optional)
Orange Peel Twist for Garnish
Strawberry for Garnish

Directions:

Combine gin, vermouth, and campari in your Hybrid Cocktail Glass.
Add a large ice cube, and stir to dilute.
Twist the orange peel over the cocktail to release its oils, then add a few dashes of bitters. Finally, place the orange twist on top of the ice cube for a beautiful and flavorful garnish.
Add a strawberry as a garnish to further enhance the flavor.

Notes:

Jump-start your cocktail game by infusing 1 cup of Campari with ½ cup strawberries and 1 cup basil leaves for two days in the fridge. For quicker infusion, chop basil leaves into thirds. After straining, store the mixture in a jar for up to 4 weeks.

Discover endless possibilities by experimenting with homemade infusions. Create a chocolatey Negroni with cacao nib-infused sweet vermouth or Campari, or go for a sustainable, caffeinated twist by infusing Campari with brewed coffee grounds. Happy shaking!
