Vue to a Kill a toasty Negroni
Talented Mr Fox is the bar at One Leicester Street. It's a speak easy style hideaway just off Leicester Square that takes liquor seriously. It uses ants, bone marrow and pigs' blood to create cocktails as well as distilling its own gin.
The bartender Ally made a Negroni with popcorn infused gin, Campari and a boutique Vermouth called Cocchi from Turin. The gin had a toasty flavour and rather than equal measures there was less Vermouth making the drink pinker than a classic. Ally served it with a large single block of ice and without any orange. The Vue to a Kill is a classy deviant of a Negroni constructed by an impressive bar.
