The Cardagroni @BarFerd. Just trust me on this one.

There’s only one cocktail I ever truly crave- a Negroni.  A perfect blend of equal parts sweet vermouth, Campari and gin.  Recently I had a variation on this classic at Seattle’s Bar Ferd’nand that has become my new favorite iteration.  Replace the Campari with Cardamaro, a bitter-sweet amaro tinted with citrusy undertones and a lovely fennel finish- and you get a Cardagroni.  The boys at Bar Ferd’nand really know how to improve on a good thing.

Gin, Sweet Vermouth, Cardamaro.

Semplice.

One other thing to love about Bar Ferd… they have the best bar snacks.  Ever.
