Autumn Orchard Negroni

Autumn is a season that calls for warmth, depth, and a touch of sophistication in every sip—and the Autumn Orchard Negroni is all that and more. This twist on the classic Negroni highlights Gattertop’s celebrated Nº12, damson liqueur, elevating it with rich, earthy flavours. At Gattertop, the Negroni has become a signature serve, and the Autumn Orchard Negroni takes it one step further, showcasing warming notes of ginger, peated whisky, and the naturally jammy flavours of Damson Nº12. It’s a cocktail made for lingering evenings and meaningful moments as the days grow shorter and the air crisper.
