This is what happens when Uncle gets his hands on a Negroni.
Campari, Dolin Vermouth, Nikka Coffey Gin and just enough yuzu to make it his own.

Find the Mingroni downstairs this September.

Campari, the bones of a classic Negroni and then we add a little Ming’s treatment with yuzu for a brighter, citrusy finish. Stirred, poured and ready for September.

Come watch us make one. Better yet, come drink one.
