Jamie is a talented illustrator, graphic designer and painter from Bristol. He uses clean black lines and loud block-fill colouring in his designs, with influence from neo-graffiti and pop art. He loves to design characters, developing charismatic, animated figures that have previously gone on to decorate record sleeves and magazine articles.  The equally charismatic character for our Negroni was born during a brief hiatus from his travels across Australia.

First mixed in Florence, Italy, in 1919, at Caffè Casoni, Count Camillo Negroni concocted it by asking the bartender, Fosco Scarselli, to strengthen his favourite cocktail, the Americano, by replacing soda with Gin. The bartender also added an orange garnish rather than the typical lemon garnish to signify that it was a different drink. Author Orson Welles once described the drink - “The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you. They balance each other.”
