Nikkei Negroni
Peru and Japan share a rich history in culinary techniques, and now, these two beautiful cultures are combined in one drink to create a modern twist on the classic Negroni.
Thanks to James Grant, a magician behind the bar with a deep love for Pisco and a creative mastery of flavors, we are introduced to this bespoke cocktail. While keeping the core ingredient, Campari, he introduces the delicate, floral notes of Pisco Italia and Umeshu, a Japanese plum wine made from high-grade Nanko plums.
The result is a cocktail that maintains the Negroni's signature bitter-sweet balance but adds layers of soft, delicate complexity
