Scotch Negroni

Monkey Shoulder, Cocchi and Martini Bitter. Where on earth is that chocolate flavour coming from?! Brilliant cocktail. I like the 4:3:2 ratio. Balance is spot on for me.

Ballantine's, Cocchi Storico and Campari using the 4:3:2 ratio. The initial hit of chocolate and coke has instantly put this into my winter Negroni rotation.

I kept the 4:3:2 ratio and used Tallisker Skye, Marionetta Vermouth and Campari. Cracking cocktail : )

Loved this drink. Used Monkey Shoulder, Cocchi, and Campari, and had no orange, so used a lemon peal…it was excellent!! Surprised how cocoa flavours were coming out.

Having inherited some blended scotch, I was delighted to see this.
And delighted to see the happy reviews.
I might put a splash of Islay in next time. And there will be a next time!

Looks like this recipe has changed a bit over time. Just made it with 40 ml Johnnie Walker Black, 30 ml Dolin Rouge, 20 ml Campari. Excellent; well-balanced.

Also good with a wee bit of Liquore Strega added.

Upon further review I've decided it's actually a Scotch Boulevardier. Peat is a distraction here so I eliminated the Islay and used Glenfiddich this time (don't have much blended scotch). Definitely needs less bitter red than a bourbon Boulevardier so stuck with 4:2:1 proportions rather than 4:3:2. This time I used Carpano Antica and Martini & Rossi Riserva Speciale Bitter + dash of Angostura Orange bitters. Good balance of bitter and sweet. Garnished with dried blood orange slice. Excellent!

So, I would highly recommend my recipe for this cocktail. I’m getting the scotch, bitters and good balance without being too sweet.
- 3 oz scotch
- 1.5 oz Campari
- 3/4 oz sweet vermouth
Stir everything to chill and dilute and then pour into martini glass to have it up! It’s so good!!

Don't care what this is called or like, it is bloody good. The Scotch Whisky adds an interesting touch. Was great as an aperitif.
