Gino, oh Gino Negroni

Show Notes

Originally in the calendar for June, the official Negroni Week got shifted to September due to this flippin’ virus. But since none of us can get to a bar, Ben & Tom decided to give it a dose of love regardless. In this week’s extra pod then, learn more about the quality cocktail, its Italian provenance, dubious origins, and how to mix one. Then drink them all week. And again in September. Drink less, drink better though.

For a Negroni you’ll need...

Gin: Ben and Tom mention a strong punchy gin like Plymouth Navy Strength as mentioned in the Devon Pod, £39.75 at The Whisky Exchange

Or try Millers Westbourne Strength. Available for £34.95 at the The Whisky Exchange

Cocchi Vermouth di Torino is £19.95 at The Whisky Exchange

And the essential Campari, £17.25 at The Whisky Exchange

What is The Thinking Drinkers Podcast?

No matter what day of the year it is, there is always a compelling reason to enjoy a discerning drink. Responsibly of course.

This hilarious, eclectic and erudite elbow-bending adventure through the calendar reveals what you should be drinking this week - and a fascinating and compelling reason to drink it.

Hosts Ben McFarland & Tom Sandham, aka The Thinking Drinkers, have deftly decanted 40 years of unwavering dedication to awesome alcohol into a podcast that will broaden your booze horizons and make you seem even more interesting than you already are.

Steeped in eccentric events, fascinating facts and with all the cocktail recipes and recommendations a thirsty gastronome requires, this pod arms people with essential, some would say useless, anecdotal ammunition with which to impress your mates over a drink...or two.
