Look, if you told me a few years ago that the South Australian gin heroes at Never Never, the ones who perfected the art of the Triple Juniper martini, were going to make a Panettone-flavoured Negroni, I would have questioned your sanity. But here we are, and it’s brilliant.
These are the same distillers that just dropped a Signature Vodka by adding distilled olive and avocado oils to the recipe, so you know it’s not going to be just ‘any‘ negroni.
Anyway, back to the festive magic. The Panettone Negroni is Christmas dinner, dessert, and a boozy hug all in one glass.
They took their classic bitter blend of gin, aperitif and vermouth, then spiked it with aged muscat, rye, and vanilla, making it smell like stepping into Nonna’s kitchen on December 25th. It’s got all the buttery, fruity, spicy goodness of that giant bread loaf, but with zero crumbs and maximum kick.
Here’s the best part and your official Christmas cheat code: this is a ready-to-pour cocktail.
Trust me and stick the whole bottle in the freezer, then when your judgy relatives or unexpected guests arrive, just pull it out, pour it over ice, and look like the effortlessly sophisticated host you absolutely are. You could even take it up another level and garnish it with a block of dark chocolate.
Forget slaving away in the kitchen this year. The Panettone Negroni is the ultimate low-effort, high-impact ticket to an stress-free silly season.
Go get one. Now.
