Slow Travel – The Beauty of Standing Still
Travel expert Amanda Hyde, who has written for Condé Nast Traveller and The Telegraph, explores the art of slow travel across southern Italy.
Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2019, the Negroni is a characterful classic cocktail that’s famous for its bitter-sweet, bold flavour. The story goes that the cocktail was first created in Florence in the 1920s, when Count Negroni asked for his Americano to be made with gin instead of soda water.
At the Donovan Bar at Brown’s Hotel, the cocktail is prepared using vintage spirits, which are taken from Salvatore Calabrese’s extraordinary antique spirits cabinet. The resulting drink offers an intriguing depth of flavour and original twist on this beloved classic serve.
