FIVE Negroni

• Limited edition ready-to-drink Negroni cocktail produced by Forthave Spirits in Brooklyn, New York
• Blend of Forthave BLUE Gin, RED Aperitivo, and a custom vermouth blend
• Vermouth is a blend of Finger Lakes region wine, distilled Finger Lakes region wines (Cayuga, Seyval Blanc and Noiret), and Method Sweet Vermouth
• Featured vermouth botanicals include fresh oranges, dried Seville orange peel, hyssop, mace, angelica root, and chamomile; botanicals are incorporated three ways: macerated in base wine, distilled, and macerated in spirit
• After combining the gin, aperitivo, and vermouth, a portion of the blend was aged 6 months in an ex–Elijah Craig whiskey barrel and ex–Burgundy wine barrels previously used to age Forthave Mithradates amaro; the remainder was rested in stainless steel tanks
• Only 6,336 bottles produced
• 30% ABV

Forthave’s Single Batch Series is a line of experimental, one-off releases crafted in the spirit of the brand’s earliest explorations of historical botanical spirits and liqueurs. The fifth release in the series is a Negroni cocktail composed of Forthave’s own BLUE Gin, RED Aperitivo, and a custom vermouth blend. The resulting cocktail balances the bright, fresh notes of a classic Negroni with warm, barrel-aged maturity. Best served chilled over ice with an orange twist.
