Honeycrisp Negroni

Serves 1

Our bartender friend in Georgia recently described our new release, Gin Recipe 03 Blood Orange and Tarragon, as “a Hendricks-level game changer, a gin that makes people rethink what gin actually is.’

We couldn’t agree more! Gin Recipe 03 is both distinctive and versatile, with a full bouquet of fruits and botanicals to explore, enhance, and eleven in a wide range of cocktails.

This cocktail recipe for a Honeycrisp Negroni from our co-founder, Julian Peebles, highlights the subtle apple notes in Gin Recipe 03, while the blood orange and tarragon work in tandem with the Campari and sweet  vermouth to provide those essential notes of herby, bitter citrus that make this cocktail a perfect warm-up for your holiday feasts. And it couldn’t be easier to make–this recipe is easily batched out for a crowd–a welcome, hassle-free libation for a busy season of entertaining.

Cheers to the Holiday Season!

Ingredients

1 oz Common Ground Spirits Gin Recipe 03 Blood Orange & Tarragon

1 oz Campari

1 oz sweet vermouth

1 medium wedge of honeycrisp apple, about 33 grams or 1 ⅛ ounces, cut into chunks

Lemon peel twist for garnish

Strain the cocktail into a rocks or punch glass (adding a large ice cube if you wish), twist the lemon peel over the top of the drink to release some of the citrus oil, garnish with the peel, and serve!

Add ice to a cocktail shaker or tall mixing glass, then add the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Stir until well chilled.
