Drunk Uncle
Cocktail History
The Drunk Uncle cocktail is another spin on a famous cocktail, the Negroni, but with a smokey twist. You swap the gin for scotch and the Campari for Cynar, giving it a bittersweet taste. The Drunk Uncle was first created by a bartender named Shawn Soole and first appeared in print through The Negroni: Drinking to La Dolce Vita, With Recipes & Lore by Gary Regan.
