Hazelnut Free Herbal Negroni with Fresh Herbs
A classic stirred cocktail gets a fragrant garden twist here, with fresh rosemary and thyme bruised just enough to release their oils into the mix without overpowering the drink. The result is a deeply aromatic, bittersweet pour that feels both sophisticated and approachable. Gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth form the backbone — a trio that delivers that signature balance of herbal bitterness and rich sweetness in every sip. Expressing the orange peel over the glass at the end is a small step that makes a big difference, adding a bright citrus note that ties everything together beautifully. For anyone navigating nut allergies, this recipe is naturally free of tree nut ingredients — every element is straightforward and easy to verify, from the fresh herbs to the spirits. It's the kind of cocktail that looks impressive enough for a dinner party but is genuinely simple to pull off at home with a mixing glass and a bar spoon.
