Le Comte
Keeping the equal parts structure of a classic Negroni, this version reduces the pour per ingredient and adds a fourth spirit. The addition of French brandy provides a counterpoint to the gin, which amplifies its pine notes, which are further bolstered by the rosemary-infused Campari.
INGREDIENTS
¾ oz. French brandy
¾ oz. London dry gin
¾ oz. sweet Italian vermouth
¾ oz. rosemary-infused Campari
Lemon peel, for garnish
ABV LEVEL
Combine all in a mixing glass. Fill three-quarters up with ice. Stir for 20 seconds. Strain into a double rocks and add a large cube. Garnish with a lemon peel, expressing the oils before twisting it up and tucking it in next to the ice.
