The Uninvited Guest (batch/draft name)

Category: Draft · Negroni Variation
Glass: Rocks
Ice: 1 large rock
Delivery: Draft

Spec

  • 1 oz Beefeater Gin
  • 1 oz Amaro Montenegro
  • 1 oz Sweet Vermouth (Carpano Antica)
  • Olive Brine (1 tsp, to taste)

Build

Pre-batched on Draft Tap 2 (see batch-uninvited-guest for full keg recipe). Pour ~3 oz over a 1 large rock in a rocks glass. Serve with Castelvetrano olives on the side, not in the drink.

Garnish

Olives on the side (Castelvetrano, 3 olives, separate plate)

Story

Lancey's Negroni rethink. Amaro Montenegro replaces Campari for a softer, more orange-forward bitter profile. The olive brine is a Lancey signature savory note. Olives served on the side — the brine is in the drink.

Service note

Rocks, single big rock. Olives on a small side plate with a toothpick. Tell guests the brine is in the drink and the olives are to munch alongside.

Tasting notes

Bitter-sweet, orange-bright, with the unexpected savory note from the brine. The olives let the guest layer salt + cocktail.
