The early word on Bar Love’s Peaches & Cream Negroni? It’s one you’ll love
And it has become a cult favourite at her bar, Molli.
The new Perth bar has squeezed in under the wire to land a drink on the Boothby Drink of the Year Top 50.
New Perth neighbourhood joint, Bar Love, has finally flung their doors open — and they’re bringing some damn good drinking to town.
“This drink is absolutely our Gateway Negroni,” says co-owner and bartender, Pippa Canavan. “Confession time: my husband and I both hate Negronis. We are about sweet, fruity bangers all the way home. So I wanted to create something approachable that would serve as a gentle introduction to those unfamiliar with the world of bitter flavours. This is all summer peaches and silky texture up front, but after you bite into the garnish, subtle bitter herbal characters come to the fore. Geddit!”
