Here’s our final entry for this year’s Negroni Week. Treaty Oak Distilling in Austin, Texas, has taken their highly aromatic gin, barrel aged it in separate batches between 1 to 2 years, blended it and bottled it as Waterloo Antique Gin. This smooth aromatic gin, combined with Fernet Branca — as substitute for sweet vermouth — and Campari, kicks up the taste level in your grandfather’s classic Negroni.
New Groany
1 1/2 ounces Treaty Oak Antique Gin
1/2 ounce Fernet Branca
1 ounce Campari
Put several ice cubes in a mixing glass and pour in the ingredients. Stir evenly until thoroughly chilled. Strain into an old fashioned glass. Garnish with an orange slice.
