The Daiquiri is a perfection in a glass. An ‘all-occasion’ cocktail that fits to every situation, from a party to a pre-dinner drink. It is deceptively simple. The art lies in balancing the four taste cornerstones that build a cocktail’s flavour: Strong, sour, sweet & weak.

- Enjoy
“Never use lemon juice. And Remember please,
that a too sweet Daiquiri is like a lovely lady with too much perfume” –
Charles H. Baker Jr.
The Negroni is one of the greatest Italian cocktails. This classic cocktail has a dichotomy of love or hate when you taste it for the first time. Traditionally made with Gin, we discovered that replacing this with Rum takes this iconic cocktail to greatness, reaching an exceptional new flavour full of aromas.

Ingredients :
- 30 ml The Lovers Rum
- 30 ml Vermouth Rosso (Mancino)
- 30 ml Italian Bitter Liqueur
Garnish :
- Orange peel
Steps :
- Add the ingredients into a mixing glass
- Stir (*) well with Ice
- Strain into a glass over a large piece of ice
- garnish with a twist of orange peel
- Enjoy
(*) A Negroni is typically stirred, not shaken, to keep the perfect balance of the holy trinity that brings the sweetness, bitterness and floral aromatics. Once shaken you can lose this balance in flavours.
