THE NEGRONI SOCIETY - THIS MONTH'S NEGRONI

Our lucky Negroni Society members have a delightfully tropical Negroni to enjoy this month, and we are very to bring you a cocktail from one of our favourite bars, the world renowned ATLAS Bar, in Singapore. Introducing their twist on the classic...
 

THE COUNT OLIVIER

As we all know, the origins of the Negroni are shrouded in mystery with conflicting claims about its invention. While some attribute it to Count Camillo Negroni, an Italian Aristocrat who took a likening to a stronger version of an Americano, others argue in favour of Pascal Olivier Count de Negroni, a decorated, Corsican war hero. While the debate between the cocktail's origins escalate, this month's cocktail pays homage to the latter. The legend of Pascal Olivier de Negroni.
 

The Count Olivier boasts an intricate mix of gin, mezcal, vermouth, Campari and dashes of chocolate bitters that brings forth a curious eccentricity of floral, tropical and classic bitterness with chocolate notes.
 

ATLAS BAR

Built in 2002, ATLAS Bar resides in Singapore's historic Parkview Square. Known as the "Gotham Building" for its Art Deco style. The bar itself matches the ornate exterior with marble, brass, and velvet.
 

The bar boasts a 15 meter high 'Gin Tower' with a vast collection of over one thousand three hundred Gins from around the world. Number 48 out of the World's 50 Best Bars, their classic cocktails celebrate both craftsmanship and tradition.

You can also find our SCHOFIELD'S Dry Vermouth in their incredible Martinis too!
