Bitter Sweet Back Bar

An Italian favorite and the curious intersection of bitter times with bitter flavors.

The Negroni doesn’t have a rise and fall and rise again story. It pops up here and there, peculiarly always in the wake of tragedy. Why do we gravitate towards this sharp, botanical beverage in times of rebuilding and what can it tell us about bitter flavors as a whole? Special guests this week are Naren Young, founding beverage director of Dante NYC, and Natasha David.
