Negroni
Easy to make, endless variations and perfect for any time of the day.
The first time I got introduced to the Negroni was many years ago in an oyster bar in New York, when the guy next to me ordered this mysterious concoction in the early afternoon. Turns out he knew what he was doing: Negroni is one of those cocktails that go perfectly at any time of the day. Luckily, it’s also easy to make and infinitely modifiable.

Playing Around
- Beauty of this recipe is endless possibilities. Experiment with Gran Classico instead of Campari, or Punt e Mes instead of vermouth, prepare for your mind to be blown.
- Swap the gin for mezcal for a smokier version, with bourbon for a digestif instead of an aperitif, or sparkling wine for a Negroni Sbagliato.
- Sous-vide the ingredients in the recipe together with a handful of green olives for 24 hours at 50c for olive infused Negroni and serious bragging rights, courtesy of Bar Termini.
- Sparkling Negroni anyone? Carbonate it in a whipping siphon with CO2 cartridges and serve chilled.
