Ran out of Campari and trying to use some other options before buying more Campari (which I usually use up way too fast on nightly Negronis), I subbed Rabarbaro for the Campari! A great variation, IMO.

Second time around I had to add a heart to this excellent lovely negroni.

Used a little more pomegranate juice. Quite complex and somehow simultaneously sweet and very dry. Definitely a Negroni variation, not for someone on their training wheels to one!

Very nice recipe. Thank you.
I doubled the amount of pomegranate juice for the less experienced drinkers and a few pomegranate grains for decoration and a final treat. I'm lucky enough to come from the south of Italy where pomegranate is fresh and delicious.

No pomegranate juice so subbed pomegranate liqueur. I like Negronis on the lean side so upped the gin a wee bit to 1.5 oz, though not quite Valentino (2:1:1) lean. The idea of replacing the red vermouth with aromatized wine is interesting but I don't understand the rationale for Lillet Blanc so used Lillet Rouge instead with good results. Garnished with a lemon zest. This has the bittersweet bite of a classic Negroni with more fruit complexity and some additional herbal/bitter notes.

Loved the pomegranate flavour. Found the cocktail a bit on the sweet side at the first sip, but, as it breathes, the cocktail becomes softer and not as sweet. The little bit of water from the ice seems to mellow all the ingredients.

I made this drink exactly and it was great (my rating was based on that).

I then remade the drink with Granada-Vallet (a bitter pomegranate liqueur from Mexico) instead of Campari, and it was out of this world. It rounds out the negroni with flavors of gentian, fresh jalapeño and lime zest.

Highly recommend the variation if you can get your hands on a bottle.

As I don't usually have fresh Pomegranate juice to hand I subbed in 10ml of Pama Pomegranate liqueur... Delicious lighter and slightly fruity option to a Negroni
