Fresh strawberries and Aperol bring fruity, bittersweet flavors to the classic Negroni in this riff crafted by hip, Downtown gastropub, The Commoner. The four-ingredient recipe is easy to blend up at home – give it a quick stir with some ice and you’re ready for cocktail hour!

Strawberry Negroni Bianco 

Ingredients

1oz Hendrick’s Gin

1oz Carpano Bianco

1oz Aperol

2 strawberries 

Instructions

Blend all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix/better to do in a batch), and strain through a fine-mesh colander lined with cheesecloth. Once strained, add 3oz of the cocktail in a mixing glass with ice and stir 40-48 times. Strain over fresh ice in a double rocks glass and serve with a half of a strawberry as a garnish. A twist of a peel of lemon is always a great idea when using strawberry and gin…salud!
