A Negroni with a twist of Asia

The Negroni is a popular Italian cocktail, usually made with Gin, Vermouth and Campari. It is drunk as an aperitif. A well-made Negroni is stirred and poured into an old-fashioned glass with ice. In this signature cocktail, we incorporated pandan by using our Bandoeng’22 Pandan Liqueur. This adds a nutty, tropical flavor to the traditionally bitter base. 

Ingredients
30 ml (1 oz) gin
15 ml (0.5 oz) vermouth
15 ml (0.5 oz) Bandoeng’22
30 ml (1 oz) Campari
3 ds tiki bitters
Garnish with cherry and pandan leaf

Method of preparation
Grab an old-fashioned glass and put enough ice in it. Pour Bandoeng’22, Campari, vermouth, gin and bitters into a large stirrer glass with plenty of ice. Stir the drinks well with the help of a bar spoon, so that the whole is also cold. Using a strainer, pour your cocktail into the old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a pandan leaf and possibly a Maraschino cherry.

Foodpairing suggestion
We like to serve Pangsit Goreng with Bandoeng’22 Negroni. This deep-fried meat filled dumpling is very popular in The Netherlands among the Dutch-Indonesian community. The crispy, salty appetizer is served with a sweet chili sauce and pairs very well with our cocktail. For the recipe of this dish, click here
