HEAT WAVE NEGRONI - Downton Distillery UK

Heat Wave Negroni | Gin Cocktail

Our Heatwave Negroni is a refreshing twist on the White Negroni—a modern reimagining of the classic Negroni that, while it feels timeless, only emerged in the early 2000s.

We’ve taken it a step further using our Great Bustard Gin, a light, herbaceous spirit that pairs beautifully with floral and citrus notes. Elderflower and bergamot complement both the gin and the vermouth, creating a bright, aromatic profile. Unlike a traditional Negroni, this version skips the bitter liqueur, resulting in a smoother, more delicate cocktail—perfect for long, hot days when you're chasing flavour.

Ease of Making: Easy 

Glass Type: Rocks Glass

Taste: Boozy, slightly sweet, refreshing.

  • 40ml Great Bustard OR Explorer's Gin
