Keeping things local with one of my all time favourite cocktails, the Negroni! The Negroni is arguably the "Marmite" of the cocktail world, with the Campari element being an acquired taste that's not quite for everyone.

It makes a great Dirty Martini with a splash of olive brine added, while the recommended Gin and Tonic serve is a mix of Lilliput and Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water.  The Gin was inspired by the Dorset summertime coast so I knew I had to create a cocktail to reflect this.
