History

Created in December 2021 by yours truly after seeing a recipe for a Cold-Brew Negroni by Pamela Wiznitzer. Pam's recipe uses different proportions and includes coffee grounds infused Campari – seemed a faff so I created this version.

Review

Just as it says on the tin, a Negroni with a splash of cold brew coffee. Simples! Whether you view this as an aperitivo or a breakfast cocktail says a lot about your lifestyle. A proper breakfast is a great way to start the day!

I did infuse 60ml Campari with one heaped tsp of coffee grounds for 7 mins and I thought it worked really well.

I tasted the Campari before mixing and the coffee was strong, but not overpowering (it was still obviously Campari).

I mixed it into a Boulevardier - coffee+gin doesn't make as much sense as coffee+whiskey to me

Ratio above probably meant for cold brew concentrate? That’s what I used and it was the right amount of coffee without it being overpowering

I used and recommend "Minor Figures Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Black".

You can make a concentrate by doing 1 part coarse ground coffee to 4 parts water - leave in fridge for 72 hours. Filter through a paper filter before using

Normal cold brew strength would be 1:16 so this is a 4 x concentrate.

I have a cold brew recipe book by Chloe Callow containing a recipe for cold brew Negroni. However, it uses equal measures. I suppose I will have to try both versions then ?‍♂️
