Author Notes

“Bittersweet cocoa goodness with freezer door ease. You are welcome. This rich and creamy take on the classically bitter Italian Negroni originated with New York City mixologist Naren Young. The addition of crème de cacao and Punt e Mes, an Italian vermouth that is a bit like sweet vermouth crossed with an amaro, creates a cocktail reminiscent of the original, but with a whole new depth. Starting with a full bottle? Pour off 17 ounces (510 mL).” —J.M. Hirsch
