Cocktail of the week: José Pizarro's negroni Español

A vibrant, festive aperitivo – enjoy over ice with a pear garnish

This seasonal Spanish take on an old classic sees the traditional negroni upgraded by the use of sweet sherry and aged whisky. This is a wonderful, and super-easy, festive aperitivo, not least for its vibrant red colour.

Serves 1

35ml good scotch (preferably one aged in a PX cask) – we use Glenfiddich 15yo
20ml pedro ximénez
20ml Campari
1 slice dried pear, to garnish

Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes, add the whisky, PX and Campari, and stir for five seconds. Garnish with a slice of dried pear and serve.
