New English Negroni

Al Culliton and Ned King | Easthampton, MA

Al Culliton developed a version of this brandy-based Negroni variation before calling on Ned King to collaborate on the recipe in anticipation of its debut on the menu at Gigantic in Easthampton, MA. As Culliton explains, “it hits a lot of autumnal notes beyond apple―nuttiness, bitter citrus peel and spices.”
