Negroni Sbagliato
This happy accident keeps the bitter, herbal bite of Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif, but swaps in bubbles instead of gin, creating a lighter, brighter cocktail.
1 ½ oz Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif
1 ½ oz sweet vermouth
1 ½ oz Prosecco or sparkling wine
Orange twist for garnish, optional
Add Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif and vermouth into mixing glass with ice. Stir and strain into flute. Top with Prosecco and stir. Garnish with orange twist.
Jez sez:
“The first time someone ordered this from me I thought they had sneezed. So, I gave them a regular Negroni and a box of tissues. It’s like I always say: Oops!”
Jungle Bird
An intensely complex Tiki drink, the Jungle Bird combines common tropical flavors like dark rum and pineapple with the unique herbaceousness of Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif.
1 oz Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif
1 ½ oz Trader Vic’s® Dark Rum
1 oz pineapple juice
½ oz lime juice
½ oz simple syrup
Pineapple fronds for garnish, optional
Add all ingredients to shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass with ice.
Jez sez:
“I like to think that if I were a jungle bird, I would be a cassowary on account of the lack of a keel on my sternum and my general flightlessness.”
Venetian Spritz
Refreshingly cool and bubbly fresh, the bitter orange and sweet wine flavors of a spritz were made for patio season—or any time you need a taste of patio season.
2 oz Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif
3 oz Prosecco
Splash of soda water
Orange wedge, optional
Fill a wine glass with ice cubes. Add all ingredients. Garnish with orange wedge and serve.
Jez sez:
“Rumors persist of a spritz so profoundly effervescent that one sip can send the imbiber bubbling to the heavens. Is this that spritz? No one has survived the journey to say.”
