Dominique de Bastarrechea, owner and ‘front of house’ at Hardy’s Brasserie in Marylebone, W1, created and served cocktails for many years before developing the effortless, ready mixed Negronis on tap.
The first boxed aperitif combining the highest quality and quantity.
Essential to a classic Negroni are London dry gin and Campari; after extensive tasting in Italy, Cocchi di Torino was selected as the vermouth for its fine texture and elegance.
“It didn’t take long for Hardy’s to become the unofficial MONOCLE bar. It’s been the venue of emotional farewell for long-serving staff, hearty lunches with correspondents and nights of “just the one Negroni” after work that end in the small hours. While we have other favourite bars and restaurant spots from Bangkok to Milan, Toronto to Tokyo, Dominique is the host who knows us best.”
