Baltic Black Negroni

0

A herbal, bittersweet stirred drink that swaps the usual gin and Campari for aquavit, Mirto and Black Balsams. Orange bitters and orange peel brighten it. Created by Shawn C in Fresno in 2023.

Similar names: Baltic Spring Punch

Shawn C created this Negroni variation at home in Fresno, California, in 2023, after finding that Mirto, a liqueur made from myrtle berries, goes well with the earthy character of Riga Black Balsam. Ahus Akvavit was chosen over Linie for its milder herbal profile, and its Baltic connection with Riga, together with the drink's dark colour, gave the Baltic Black Negroni its name.
