This is a Negroni riff that dials up the bitterness alongside balancing sweetness in a way that accentuates the anise and wormwood notes in the Besk and Vermouth. If you can't find Letherbee's Besk, Malort is a perfectly fine alternative. If you are a fan of the Negroni and esoteric amari, this will not disappoint. It serves as a pre-dinner cocktail to whet the appetite, or a flavorful drink to sip while preparing a meal for family and friends.
