Negroni Cocktail Recipe
Since it’s Negroni Week, we thought it appropriate to share the recipe for this classic cocktail.
Ingredients
1 ounce gin
1 ounce Campari
1 ounce sweet vermouth
Garnish: orange peel
Steps
Add the gin, Campari and sweet vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir until well-chilled.
Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
Garnish with an orange peel.
Now for a zero-proof option, we recommend
WildFolk Sparkling Negroni
“The complex mix of flavours and botanicals (think bitter rinds and hints of smoke) is sure to lift spirits as you wind down.”
Tasting Notes: Rhubarb, Grapefruit Rind, Star Anise, Rosehip, and Juniper.
This canned Sparkling Negroni is included in our Mobile Bar Mocktail Menu when you hire us for your next event. Let’s get the party started!
Gin Botanical Garden Party Styled Shoot
I had been dreaming of doing a styled shoot with Ivy Pearl, our converted horse trailer bar for months (possibly years!) and it was finally time. I was inspired to come up with a series of “spirit” styled shoots and since we launched our bar trailer in the spring, Gin was the obvious choice!
Our Bar Menu was gin-based cocktails. With signature cocktails, we always recommend serving no more than 3. We served:
Elderflower Rose Gin Sour using Empress 1908 Gin (See recipe here)
Classic G&T using Tempo Gin
Jenn & Tonic (Jenn’s twist on the classic)

I put together a list of vendors I wanted to work with or have worked with previously and to my delight, everyone was stoked to join! They all loved the theme and you can’t ask for anything better than that!
Coordinating this was no small feat, but as an unofficial party planner, it was a challenge I was ready to take on.
I knew right from the get-go I wanted Events by Elle to provide decor and especially a lounge set up. Elle has beautiful taste and we had been communicating for several months about collaborating. She was thrilled to be a part of the shoot and recommended some photographers she’d like to work with. That’s how I found Bre. (Love this collaboration thing!)
We got a contract together and the date was set!
I’ve learned over my 18 year experience as an entrepreneur to delegate tasks that either don’t bring me joy, are stressful, or simply not my forte. I reached out to Stephanie from Simply Stone Events to be my Day of Coordinator, so the timing of everyone setting up was off my shoulders. I’m so glad she accepted because she absolutely rocked it!
Here she is with her assistant and Wine Maker of Cavallo Winery. We got to taste their Rose before it was released to the public!
