my smart american lover
a wild negroni with botanicals foraged from our immediate area
douglas fir, the handsome american immigrant in our local city parks, giving a bright citric woody flavour paired with the mysterious quality of smoked english garden sage. The vermouth is made from a base of beautiful natural red wine, Pegase from domaine d’epinay, with épine noir, the blackthorn flower and cognac infusion. Passionflower gin is heady light bitter green almond and rowan berry gives it the medicinal fruity tang you’d usually associate with an italian aperitif. a touch of wormwood is the deepest bitter note
the botanicals are a massive vitamin c dose and the passionflower is a gentle anti anxiety herb for calm focussed energy
the lover comes pre-diluted and ready to drink, just chill your bottle, ideally your glass too and garnish with dried citrus and douglas fir salt rim
