Eeyore’s Requiem Cocktail

The Eeyore’s Requiem Cocktail features an impressive lineup of ingredients. But in the end this is a Negroni variation where the gin is less dominant, and where rather cynar and fernet branca play the lead role.

We added an orange zest twist in the finalized cocktail, making it look even more fancy, and obviously adding a nice citrus aroma. The cocktail tasted delicious and it was well worth the time picking out all those bottles from our cabinets!

The recipe is from Brad Thomas Parsons’s book Amaro and we do recommend trying the Eeyore’s Requiem Cocktail. The cocktail calls for orange bitters, and we did 50/50 of angostura orange bitters and regans’ orange bitters, just to add another bottle =)
