ASTERLEY BROS, ULTIMATE XMAS NEGRONIS
Well, here it is: The Panettone Negroni! A festive twist on the timeless classic.
Every Xmas, here at Asterley Bros, we like to showcase some cool cocktail serves for people to share with friends and family and this year we have brought back our Ultimate Negroni Box Set which includes this iconic delight. And you, dear Negroni Society members, get to sample this, one of our very favourite Winter treats!
As we slide into the holiday season, our minds (and palates) turn towards indulgence, buttery brioche, candied citrus, warm spice. This month, we’re taking inspiration from Italy’s iconic Christmas cake to create something rich, aromatic, and utterly celebratory.
This one is the perfect balance of sweet, bitter, and citrus, wrapped in nostalgia and warmth. A winter riff on a true classic, designed to evoke the comfort of panettone and the elegance of a Negroni.
THE DRINK
As part of The Ultimate Xmas Negroni Set, the Panettone Negroni is our nod to the cosy side of the season, rich, smooth, and made for unhurried evenings. It's the Negroni that sits between the light, effervescent Winter Citrus Negroni, and before the Decadent Fireside Negroni, which is the perfect way to end a Winter's day.
Our Estate Sweet Vermouth adds warmth and a hint of spice, while a bright, citrusy London Dry gin brings everything into balance. The Dispense Amaro rounds it out perfectly, giving that gentle bitterness and depth that make a Negroni sing and on top of that we infuse spice extracts, buttered caramel notes, and dried fruit complexity to echo the Panettone and it's richness
It’s soft, elegant, and quietly festive, the kind of drink that feels like a little celebration all on its own.
Simple, familiar, and just that little bit special.
