Sloegroni
The SLOEGRONI is a bold, bittersweet twist on the classic Negroni, bringing together the rich, fruity depth of sloe gin with the crisp backbone of a traditional London Dry–style gin and the vibrant bitterness of Luxardo Aperitivo.
This cocktail balances wintery fruit, herbal complexity, and refreshing bitterness, creating a layered and modern aperitif that still feels familiar to Negroni lovers.
On the nose, the SLOEGRONI opens with an inviting burst of dark berries and ripe sloe fruit from the Uncommon Distillery Sloe Gin, followed by fresh juniper, citrus peel, and subtle spice from the Still Gin. The Aperitivo adds bright orange zest and gentle herbal bitterness, lifting the aroma and keeping it fresh and elegant.

TASTING NOTES:
On the palate, the cocktail is beautifully structured and expressive. The sloe gin leads with juicy notes of blackthorn berry, plum skin, and a soft almond-like sweetness, giving the drink depth and richness. The Still Gin provides a clean, dry core of juniper, citrus, and botanicals that reins in the fruit and keeps the cocktail firmly in Negroni territory.
Luxardo Aperitivo brings a vibrant bittersweet character, with flavours of blood orange, herbs, and gentle spice, cutting through the fruit and adding brightness and balance. The result is a harmonious interplay between sweet, bitter, and dry elements, with each ingredient clearly defined yet seamlessly integrated.
The finish is long, gently drying, and refreshing. Bitter orange and herbal notes linger on the palate, while echoes of dark berries and juniper fade slowly, inviting another sip.
