Frozen Negroni
Summer 2016
This frozen version of Italy’s iconic aperitivo gets an unconventional splash of grapefruit juice to brighten the drink, yet it still has the bittersweet edge of the original. If you find Campari too aggressively bitter, try substituting Aperol, a softer liqueur with a more pronounced orange flavour and less than half the alcohol.
