cocktail #menu #draft #gin #negroni #tap-4

Menu section: DRAFT — Tap 4

Spec

  • 1 oz Beefeater Gin
  • 1 oz Amaro Montenegro
  • 1 oz Sweet Vermouth (Carpano or Cocchi)
  • Olive brine (dash)
  • Castelvetrano olives, 3 on the side

Build

Pre-batched on tap (see batch-draft-uninvited-guest). Pour over one large hand-cut rock in a rocks glass. Serve 3 Castelvetrano olives on a side plate with a toothpick — never IN the drink.

Story

Negroni variant using Amaro Montenegro (gentler than Campari) and a savory olive-brine accent. The olives served separately is the move — keeps the drink clean, gives the guest a counterpoint.

Service note

Rocks glass with one large hand-cut rock. Olives on a side plate, not in glass. This is the bar's quietest signature drink.

Tasting notes

Bittersweet, slightly savory, lush. The Montenegro's vanilla-orange notes are the personality.
