Cocktail Description
The Bijou Cocktail brings together three iconic spirits in perfect harmony, creating a sophisticated riff on the classic Negroni that's both approachable and complex.
This amber-hued cocktail balances the botanical backbone of Beefeater gin with Grand Marnier's orange richness and the herbal sweetness of Martini & Rossi Rosso. Your first sip reveals bright citrus that gradually gives way to juniper and a pleasant bitter-sweet finish from the vermouth. It's remarkably simple to make, requiring just a mixing glass, bar spoon, and strainer—perfect for both novice home bartenders and experienced mixologists. The Bijou Cocktail shines as an elegant pre-dinner drink, particularly during fall and winter evenings when its warming qualities are most appreciated. Serve this cocktail alongside tapas like manchego cheese, marcona almonds, or jamón ibérico to complement its European flavor profile and citrus notes.
