Background
A new addition to The Rum Runner menu, this cocktail was inspired by the bittersweet flavours of the Negroni Sbagliato, but created using foraged ingredients from our amazing British hedgerows.
Stay tuned for next week’s non-alcoholic alternative to this cocktail; another aperitif delight.
