Rorschach Negroni

For a speakeasy-style bar with a reputation for excellence, the Rorschach Negroni is no surprise. To a Negroni fan, it’s Christmas morning. It is the brainchild of bartender Lindsay Brunson. “I had to create a Negroni for Negroni week back in June, and wanted to do something different. I’ve also always wanted to work with squid ink, so I combined the two. Using Luxardo Bianco and Dolin Blanc so that the ink could take over the color of the cocktail. The ink just really smooths the flavors over and gives it a really great visual effect. I wanted to throw in another texture, so I shaved some buttermilk chocolate across the top. It’s great to see the reactions of guest who order it and are not expecting this jet black and white cocktail. It’s definitely one of my favorite drinks that I have done.
