The Italian Mark

 

During the lockdown there are no events or product launches, so we try to create new and other combinations with the bottles in our homebar.

This Negroni-style drink could be the lovechild of the Boulevardier and the Contessa. The sour orange, tarty rhubarb and bitter herbs of the Aperol work very well with the slightly sweeter bourbon. I blend it together with a Belgian vermouth based on rosé wine.
