ÆCORN SPRITZ

Orange slice

Fill a wine glass with ice. Add Æcorn Bitter & top with soda. Finish with an Orange slice.

One to start and finish the night with. Our non-alcoholic take on the classic Negroni features on menus in many of the best bars around the world and now you can enjoy it the comfort of your own home. Either mix it up yourself or buy our pre-mixed bottled NOgroni, which by the way, is a great option if you’re heading to a friend’s house to celebrate Halloween this year.
