At Prohibition, two forward-thinking bartenders have created a cocktail that's taking the innovative ice trend to the next level. The Inception Negroni uses a technique that traps a classic Negroni inside a perfect ice sphere. After the separate Negroni recipe is poured, a special tool is used to crack the sphere, resulting in one cocktail "bleeding" into the other cocktail. In other words, welcome to the future.
"Obviously it's the name of a movie, and the idea was to create a cocktail within a cocktail," says co-creator of the drink Robyn Gray. "It's a contemporary twist of a Negroni and I've always worked with the idea of making an interesting cocktail with something that was hidden and could be revealed. It took at least 24 times to get it right and even now I'm still trying to get it absolutely perfect. The hardest thing is getting the perfect freeze temperature."
