When is a good time for a Negroni?

Classically enjoyed as an aperitif or digestive, we like to say it's always time for a Negroni! The question is, what kind? From a classic Negroni, to the viral Sbagliato, perhaps a Left Hand for a more modern bourbon twist... Do you prefer yours more bitter, or smooth and velvety?

Why not come and try Elixir's Negroni Barrico, a six year old solera barrel, with endless layers of flavour. Beloved by Negroni lovers and even those who might not normally like them, this is one for the ages.

Recently topped up with , , and more, available until midnight at Elixir!

FAMED ELIXIRS

Our new menu highlights our Famed Elixirs, akin to House Signatures.

Pictured here is our
5 year old + solera Barrel Aged Negroni

Every time we refill the barrel, we add different classic Negroni ingredients as well as a little something extra. As we never let it empty, all of the ingredients that have ever been added continue to mix. The result will always being inspired by a Classic Negroni, but with bigger, more complex flavours, with the barrel providing a smoother, round backbone.

It's always evolving, so come in to see how it tastes now!

Who's heard of Chartreuse? Did you know that there are many different types of Chartreuse? In fact, we have seven different types! There's the intense Green Chartreuse, the slightly softer Yellow, the special anniversary releases of M*F, 9th Century and 1605, the oh so wonderful very limited VEP Verde and the titchy tiny medicinal Elixir Vegetal.

Delicious on their own, as a tasting flight, or in a cocktail.
