This is my entry into this years Negroni Week but seeing as a lot of venues were shut due to lockdown the format changed and we submitted our twist as a photo and the theme was Red Passion. I wanted to have a bit of fun and do a throwback to jello shots, but make it a Classic cocktail and also tie in an Italian dish thats familiar and is quite comforting and here we are with a Negroni Bolognese.
