ABOUT
This Negroni riff was created by my friend Morten Krag (@thecocktail.blog). Who can say no to a banana Negroni appropriately named after the species name for banana?! Instead of Campari, a split of a sweeter Aperol and banana liqueur are used. To help balance the extra sweetness, there’s a heavier pour of gin. I’m not going to lie, I made a second one right after finishing this! Cheers y’all!
