I guess I just can't quite wrap my head around the appeal of substituting vodka for gin in a Negroni. Or maybe I just need to get better quality bitters and vermouth, because this with Campari and Martini and Rossi Rosso, this was very much a subpar Negroni. The vodka just added nothing but a buzz to the proceedings. Might try to tweak later for a more malleable cocktail.

Not bad I guess if you're out of gin. I made mine with a Lithuanian potato vodka, Stumbras. Nice mouth feel. After a few sips, added 10 ml Liquore Strega + orange zest (Witches Negroni), and a dash of Regan's orange bitters. Then it was gone. If I didn't know better I'd probably like this...the classic three part Negroni is a rather high bar.

Made this again using Blanco Italian Bitters and dry vermouth. Resulting cocktail was not as sweet. Again, I feel this cocktail benefits from sitting and letting the ice melt.

Great aperitivo. Having an Italian dinner, and started with this with some cheese and crackers. Very flavourful. The sweetness of your bitters will dictate how sweet your cocktail will be. Will try this again using the white bitters and vermouth.

I think this is a duplicate of "Negroski". Or, perhaps, one should link directly to the other?

I've added link to AKA above.

My first try was with vanilla flavored vodka (the only one I had by that time) I loved the vanilla but it lacked the peppery hint of gin so I added a small squeezed zest of pink grapefruit. It is now one of my favorites.
