First up this week is the Right Hand. If I'm guilty of one thing it's my total obsession with a certain juniper based spirit. So when I found a recipe that presented the opportunity of sharing a gin-based classic with even the gin-naysayers, I couldn't help but go for it. The Right Hand is essentially a rum based negroni enhanced with a few dashes of Xocolatl Mole bitters (better known as chocolate bitters and available here). So not only will you be drinking a rum fuelled negroni but you'll be getting a boozy chocolate hit as well.
You'll need:
- 50ml aged rum
- 25ml red vermouth
- 25ml Campari
- 2 dashes chocolate bitters
- Add all your ingredients to an ice filled shaker
- Shake for 10-15 seconds
- Strain into a cocktail glass and prove the gin-naysayers wrong.
Strange cocktail name, Nick. Where's it from?
ReplyDeleteum, where's the gin? Am I being daft & missing something?
ReplyDeleteThe Negroni is traditionally made with gin, Kate. This is a twist on it.
