St. Agrestis Negroni

Bold, bitter, and perfectly balanced, the St. Agrestis Negroni captures the spirit of Italy with the craftsmanship of Brooklyn. This ready-to-drink cocktail combines the brand’s house-made Inferno Bitter, a Torino-style vermouth, and Greenhook Gin distilled just down the road. The result is a bar-quality Negroni poured straight from the bottle, no stirring or measuring required.

Every sip unfolds with layered complexity. The Inferno Bitter offers a backbone of citrus peel and spice. The vermouth adds herbal sweetness and dried fruit richness, while the gin’s botanicals thread it all together with crisp clarity. It’s smooth yet assertive, and it lingers in a way that feels indulgent without being heavy.

Crafted for convenience but never at the expense of flavor, this Negroni is equally at home in a fine crystal glass or a picnic tumbler. Chill, pour over ice, and let the drink transport you from Brooklyn rooftops to Venetian canals.

Nose: Bright orange zest, bitter herbs, and whispers of clove and anise rise immediately. Beneath that, a subtle sweetness reminiscent of candied cherry softens the edges.

Palate: Lively citrus and bitter roots dominate, balanced by spiced vermouth and warming juniper. The texture is velvety, coating the tongue with a complex herbal interplay.

Finish: Long, clean, and confidently bitter. A final echo of citrus and spice lingers, inviting another slow sip.

Pair it with salty cured meats, sharp pecorino, or a platter of olives for effortless aperitivo. It shines alongside wood-fired pizza, grilled vegetables, or even rich chocolate desserts that highlight its bitter-sweet balance.
