Cocktail Description
The Highland Negroni transforms the classic Italian aperitif into a sophisticated Scotch cocktail that will instantly captivate whisky lovers.
This elegant variation replaces gin with the rich, smoky depth of Johnnie Walker Black Label, creating a more robust profile while maintaining the Negroni's perfect balance of bitter and sweet. The Martini & Rossi Rosso brings traditional herbal sweetness, while Angostura Orange Bitters add a bright citrus complexity that ties everything together. Surprisingly easy to make, this cocktail requires just a mixing glass, ice, and a steady hand for stirring to proper dilution. It shines as a pre-dinner drink during autumn and winter gatherings, though its sophisticated profile makes it equally at home for nightcaps or special occasions. Serve alongside aged cheeses, charcuterie, or dark chocolate desserts to complement the whisky's smoky characteristics and the vermouth's subtle spice notes.
