Negroni x 2 beside the rocks.

We had cocktails at the sea front at sunset again tonight. That was the plan anyway but it went down the way it usually does with my wife ordering a drink she thought sounded nice but upon the first sip discovered it not to be so. And cocktails are expensive so I drink hers as well. Tonight’s fiasco was a negroni which you need to be sitting down to drink with no need to stand or operate heavy machinery and time soon after imbibing. A negroni is a concoction made generally of gin, vermouth and Campari. A slice of orange is commonly added but here in Aegina it was a leaf of sage and some other unidentifiable element. I liked it, finished both, but really it tasted just like something my granny would have bought from the pharmacy to cure a cough. Do you drink cocktails?
