If you are looking for a cocktail that takes it to the next level, and is bursting with autumn colors. I suggest you turn the music up, find your favorite person, shake a couple of these cocktails and enjoy the evening.
Clementine Negroni Cocktail
Makes 2
Recipe from Bon Appetit
Ingredients:
3 clementines, peeled
3 dashes of orange bitters
1/4 cup Hendricks’s Gin (A smooth Scottish cucumber infused gin-worth seeking out) or other good quality gin
1/4 cup Campari
3 tablespoons sweet vermouth
Ice cubes
2 clementines, sliced for garnish
Directions:
Place 3 whole peeled clementines and orange bitters in a cocktail shaker and muddle until the clementines are broken down. Add gin, Campari, and vermouth. Fill shaker 3/4 full with ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Strain into two martini glasses, dividing equally. Garnish each with a clementine slice.
Enjoy!

We love the Negroni. It's such a fun cocktail to serve, especially for people who haven't heard of it. And you're right – it is bursting with autumn color. I've never used clementines in it. What a great idea. Sam

I am starting to become seriously envious of your liquor collection. I've made several drinks on your posts, and all have been excellent so far. I've got to find orange bitters now. What are orange bitters?
