Review

As the name suggests, it's a Negroni with the gin-laced punch you'd expect but a little less of the bitterness.

As a staunch advocate for the classic equal parts Negroni, I found myself liking this a lot. I used my standard Negroni picks (Tanqueray, Campari, and Cinzano), with the addition of Aperol, and the result is pleasingly subtle but still carries the sublimity of a good Negroni. I suspect this would be a great spec for a more delicate, less juniper-forward gin that might be overshadowed by an equal-parts Campari blend.

Wow this was great. Made it with a rose vermouth (cocchi rosa) and a grapefruit gin. Brilliantly balanced. The dash of saline worked for me.

The salt detracts in this cocktail, sorry, still prefer a classic negroni
