2 ds Bitters, Dr Adam Elmegirab’s Spanish Bitters

History

Loosely based on a Negroni template, inspired by Pedro Chicote's cocktails with sherry quina from 1947 and earlier, as well as Spanish gins. Uses a vino amaro for the red bitters, and a sherry quina in place of vermouth. Spanish bitters (based on a resurrected historical recipe) add chamomile and kick to the sherry/wine/juniper palate.

Mahón Gin has been distilled in Menorca for 300 years and has a single botanical: locally harvested juniper. The juniper in this gin is intense.
