Trident

Robert Hess, circa 2002.

Aquavit, manzanilla sherry, Cynar and peach bitters ABV 25%

One 75ml serving of Trident contains 153 calories

The Trident is a Negroni variation in structure only. The caraway and dill of Aquavit, the dry salinity of Manzanilla sherry, and the artichoke bitterness of Cynar create something far removed from the original template. Peach bitters tie it together in a way that is barely noticeable until you realise you are still thinking about the aftertaste.

We age for six weeks. The ageing is especially important here: Aquavit’s distinctive character needs time to settle into the other components. The result is drier and more intense than it looks.

Created by Robert Hess, the Trident is one of the best drinks of the twenty-first century. If you have not had one, start here.
