The Negroni, Italy’s Signature Cocktail
The Negroni, Italy’s Signature Cocktail
The Negroni is a classic Italian cocktail known for its bold flavours and vibrant red hue. It is traditionally crafted with equal parts gin, vermouth rosso, and Campari, garnished with an orange peel.
The Negroni's origin dates back to 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni, a Florentine nobleman, requested a stronger version of his favourite cocktail, the Americano, at Caffè Casoni in Florence. Bartender Fosco Scarselli obliged, substituting gin for the usual soda water, thus creating the iconic drink that has captivated cocktail enthusiasts worldwide.
The Negroni's perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness, and botanical notes has secured its place as a staple in bars and restaurants, celebrated for its simplicity and elegance.
At Scala, we offer 3 variations of this Italian staple:
- The Classic, made using the original recipe
- The White, made using all clear liquids infused with the right amount of bitter
- The Sbagliato, “with Prosecco in it”, made famous a few years ago and a global phenomenon ever since
All three of our Negronis are available at half the price during Aperitivo Hour, from 16h00 to 17h30 daily (except First Thursday).

Patron Tequila
Patron Tequila
Patrón Tequila stands as a beacon of quality and craftsmanship in the world of spirits. Renowned for its meticulous production process and rich heritage, Patrón has captured the hearts of tequila aficionados worldwide.
This journey began in Jalisco, Mexico, where the agave plant flourishes under the watchful eye of skilled artisans dedicated to maintaining centuries-old traditions.
At the core of Patrón's excellence lies its commitment to traditional methods of production. The process starts with the blue weber agave, a plant that requires 8 to 10 years to mature. Once harvested, the agave piñas are hand-selected and slow-roasted in small brick ovens. This method ensures that the natural flavours are preserved, and the sugars are gently caramelised, setting the stage for the next crucial step: fermentation.
Patrón employs a combination of traditional tahona and roller mill methods to extract the agave juice.
The fermentation process takes place in wooden vats, a practice that adds depth and character to the tequila. Following fermentation, the liquid is distilled in copper stills, ensuring purity and capturing the essence of the agave.
Patrón Tequila is more than just a spirit; it is a testament to the art of craftsmanship and the passion of those who create it. Its journey from the fields of Jalisco to the glasses of connoisseurs around the world is a story of dedication, innovation, and excellence. As you savour each sip, you become part of a legacy that honours tradition and celebrates the vibrant culture of Mexico.
At Hacienda, we boast the largest range of Patrón, so if you are interested in an everyday tequila or a top-of-the-range, celebratory, sipping tequila, we have all the options.
Must try: Patrón Flight of 5 – a board of 5 different Patrón varietals, from entry level to ultra-premium, consisting of the following: Patrón Silver, Patrón Reposado, Patrón Añejo, Patrón El Cielo And Gran Patrón Piedra.
Sake Selection
Sake Selection
We’re diving deep into sake—from classic Junmai to sparkling sake, our rotating list invites you to explore the many faces of Japan’s national drink. Sake, also known as 'nihonshu,' is a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. It has been enjoyed in Japan for centuries and is an integral part of the country's culture and cuisine.
Junmai sake is pure rice sake, made without any added alcohol or sugar, showcasing a rich and full-bodied flavour that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. On the other hand, sparkling sake offers a delightful twist with its effervescent bubbles and refreshing taste, making it perfect for celebrations or as an aperitif.
At Yatai Ramen Bar, we are passionate about sake and are excited to bring you a diverse selection to enhance your dining experience. Whether you are a seasoned sake enthusiast or a curious newcomer, our curated list is designed to delight and surprise your palate.
Our entire sake range is sold in either 175ml carafe, 750ml carafe or the whole 750ml bottle. We offer a range of sake-based cocktails to try as well.
