CLASSIC · LONDON DRY GIN

Cardinale

Name: Cardinale
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 30 ml London Dry Gin; 30 ml Dry Vermouth; 30 ml Campari; Lemon Twist

The switch from sweet to dry vermouth is subtle but transformative - the Cardinale reads leaner and more mineral, making it an ideal aperitivo for those who find the classic Negroni too sweet.

From the Bartender
