The Keystone Group in collaboration with Four Pillars has come together to create this summer’s hottest twist on a classic staple. Their new spiced negroni gin is a twist on an old favourite and is a great way to change up the classic gin cocktails we all love!
Four Pillars distiller Cameron Mackenzie in collaboration with Keystone groups most celebrated bartenders Jason Williams and Cristiano Beretta have hit the nail on the head with this one. A highly aromatic negroni gin designed to cut through the intensity of Campari and sweet vermouth – the main ingredients of a negroni. This gin goes just as well in a classic gin and tonic garnished with an orange wedge or in a gin martini.
Bartender Jason Williams has put together some cocktails we can all try at home.
