The East India Negroni
Ingredients
45ml (1 1/2oz) dark rum
20ml (3/4oz) East India cream sherry
20ml (3/4oz) Campari
Orange twist to garnish
Equipment
A jigger
A mixing glass
A barspoon
A julep strainer
A rocks glass
Good ice
Method
Add all of the ingredients to your mixing glass, stir until it is chilled and diluted, and strain over good ice. Squeeze your orange twist over the drink to expel the oils, which provides a lovely aromatic lift to this quite heavy drink. Garnish, and enjoy!
Suggested Spirits
Use a big and bold rum like Pussers, Appleton’s Estate or if you’re after something rich & fancy try Diplomatico Reserva like we did .
East India is a specific type of cream sherry that goes through further ageing to make it richer and more complex. Lustau is fairly easy to get a hold of, but if you can’t find it just use a good quality cream sherry.
