Crafted with the finest local ingredients, this cocktail blends traditional Italian influence with authentic Irish spirit, creating a drinking experience that is as stirring as the Kerry coastline itself.

The Flavour Profile

The Wild Irish Negroni offers a bold and balanced profile that captures the untamed beauty of Ireland:

  • Botanical Brilliance: Muckross Irish Gin lays a crisp, aromatic foundation, rich with carefully selected botanicals that echo the wild flora of Kerry.
  • Bitter Complexity: Campari brings its signature herbal bitterness, weaving layers of depth and intrigue.
  • Velvety Sweetness: Valentia Island Vermouth, crafted by the Atlantic’s edge, lends a smooth, rich sweetness that rounds off the cocktail with effortless elegance.

Each sip is a journey — a dance between sweet and bitter, freshness and depth — leaving a lingering, luxurious finish.

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.

Whether enjoyed as a lively aperitif that awakens the senses before a meal, or as a contemplative nightcap to close a memorable evening, the Wild Irish Negroni rewards those who appreciate depth, balance, and authenticity.

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.
