Although evoking flavours of Easter hot cross buns, this Cinnamon Raisin Negroni is in fact perfect as an after dinner cocktail for just about any occasion. Accentuate the flavours of the wonderfully fragrant Adelaide Hills Rosso Vermouth with cinnamon, orange peel and raisins to give you a subtle spiced Negroni that can be paired with cinnamon donuts or most pastries. This is not an in your face whack of cinnamon and raisin but a more subtle note.
The Rosso Vermouth is available as part of the Adelaide Hills Distillery Negroni pack, with the 200ml bottle perfect for infusions.
