I SAID NO, NO, NOGRONI Best news ever for those abstaining this summer – the NOgroni is about to be unleashed. Seedlip (of non-alcoholic spirits fame) is doing a limited edition, alcohol-free take on the classic Negroni cocktail. Ready mixed, it’s made from just the right mix of Seedlip Spice 94, and from sister company Æcorn Bitter and Æcorn Aromatic. Pour over ice and garnish with an orange twist, the NOgroni is vegan, calorie and sugar free. We can but hope it becomes a regular offering. $34.99 for 200ml from cookandnelson.com
