Forthave "Five" Negroni

Forthave "FIVE" Negroni is a limited-release, barrel-aged bottled cocktail by Brooklyn-based Forthave Spirits. It blends their botanically rich Blue Gin, bitter Red Aperitivo, and a custom-blended Finger Lakes vermouth. Bottled at 30% ABV, it offers a vibrant, aromatic, and ready-to-pour craft cocktail.

Featured vermouth botanicals include fresh oranges, dried Seville orange peel, hyssop, mace, angelica root, and chamomile; botanicals are incorporated three ways: macerated in base wine, distilled, and macerated in spirit. 

After combining the gin, aperitivo, and vermouth, a portion of the blend was aged 6 months in an ex–Elijah Craig whiskey barrel and ex–Burgundy wine barrels previously used to age Forthave Mithradates amaro; the remainder was rested in stainless steel tanks
