“This is one of my career-long signature cocktails that I’ve taken with me around the world for over a decade,” explains Naren Young. A twist on an Italian classic, the Chocolate Negroni sees the addition of Punt e Mes, crème de cacao and chocolate bitters, which provide added depth and complexity.
