It’s time to share this cocktail series with the world. What better way to start than with a taste of sunny Los Angeles? We went behind the bar of the legendary Hotel Bel Air to discover his recipe for one of his most famous libations, the Bespoke Negroni.
Located on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, the five-star Dorchester Collection hotel opened in 1946 and has welcomed many notable guests since its opening in 1946, from Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn to Bette Davis and Elizabeth Taylor. All of them have frequently graced its famous bars and lounges. . The bar’s interior contrasts sharply with its famous coral hues and features moody, dark tones, an impressive fireplace, a grand piano, and live music every night.
Heading up the bar is Mika Paloff, food and beverage director. Along with his team of talented mixologists, he has created an inventive cocktail menu using the freshest seasonal ingredients to offer guests something a little different. But one of his mainstays that remains the same year-round is the bespoke Negroni. “We barrel-age our Negroni for six weeks in oak barrels. This gives the cocktail a smooth, rich, deep flavor.” This is one of our most popular cocktails, It’s also surprisingly easy to prepare at home. ”
