Our sister served this cocktail at Christmas dinner, and we immediately fell in love with it. It was so unique and delicious, that we decided to serve it for a small New Year’s Eve dinner. The drink, as created by Phil Ward, combines two of our favorite cocktails: a Negroni and a French 75. It’s so good, that we now keep a pitcher of the mix in the fridge so we can mix and enjoy when the mood strikes us.
Cheers!
