We loved the Campari sour and wanted to create something that could use another summer favourite, Aperol. In our research we did not have to go far as the Petruchio Cocktail was created in 2010 by Jamie Boudreau at his Vessel bar in Seattle.
If you love a Negroni, then this simple cocktail is for you. It is bright, slightly bitter with a silky texture, making it elegant and well balanced. We tend to add a little more citrus, to provide an extra zing.
