About Time: You Tried LAVO’s New Bespoke Negroni TrolleyBy Alicia Grimshaw
In a city that prides itself on inventive dining, LAVO is making its mark by elevating the beloved Negroni into a bespoke experience. Located within The BoTree in Marylebone, LAVO’s recent addition to its service – a custom Negroni trolley – brings the charm of tableside mixology to a whole new level, inviting you to design your take on the Italian classic under the guidance of an in-house Negroni expert.
The process begins with the base: the Negroni’s essential component, Campari, is blended with the your choice of spirit. Options extend well beyond traditional gin, with premium alternatives such as Ketel One Vodka, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Casamigos Tequila, and the more complex Casamigos Mezcal. Each choice offers a unique twist, transforming the drink in subtle but distinct ways.
The journey continues with a selection of vermouths, including the aromatic Antica Formula, Vermouth Del Professore Rosso, and the refined 1757 Vermouth di Torino GI Rosso, each bringing layers of depth and warmth to the cocktail.
To finish, choose from flavour notes like coffee, dark chocolate, grapefruit, or rhubarb, letting you build a Negroni with a genuinely personal touch. And, you’ll also receive a small Negroni-themed pin – a subtle nod to your custom creation.
For anyone who thinks they’ve got the Negroni all figured out, LAVO’s tableside experience is a fresh, hands-on twist. In a city that’s all about personalisation and detail, LAVO goes a step further, inviting you to not just sip on a classic but to create one that’s uniquely yours from start to finish.
