Cocktail recipe: After Dark Negroni

Try our local spin on the classic Negroni cocktail, featuring After Dark (Scion's semi-sweet fortified Durif), Aperol (replacing Campari) and gin.

For good balance, we recommend a clean, citrus-driven gin. A good quality London gin never fails, but for a local option, Melbourne Gin Company's Dry Gin works really well.

How to? Mix 30ml After Dark + 30ml Gin + 30ml Aperol over ice and garnish with a wedge of orange.

It's the perfect aperitif cocktail, best enjoyed with a bowl of local kalamata olives!
