Why Our Wild Irish Negroni Stands Apart
This is not just another Negroni — it’s a celebration of Irish craftsmanship and terroir. By showcasing Muckross Irish Gin and Valentia Island Vermouth, the Wild Irish Negroni captures the very soul of County Kerry in a glass. The gin’s botanical sharpness, reminiscent of wild herbs along a Kerry trail, pairs beautifully with the vermouth’s rich, sun-warmed sweetness, while Campari binds the composition with its timeless, bittersweet signature.

The Perfect Serve
We recommend serving the Wild Irish Negroni traditionally, over a generous amount of ice. Adjust the ice to suit your mood: less ice for a bolder, more robust drink, or more ice for a softer, slower experience.
Take your time with the orange twist — the expressed oils are a final, essential flourish, releasing a bright, sunny aroma that elevates the entire drinking experience.
