History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2022 by Dennis Stein at Le Lion Bar de Paris in Hamburg, Germany for Negroni Week. The Mandarine Negroni proved so popular it became a permanent addition to the bar's menu and is consistently one of the bestselling cocktails.

Dennis' original recipe: 30ml Rutte Dutch Dry Gin, 30ml Berto Bianco Vermouth, 20ml Campari, and 10ml Mandarine Napoleon.

Review

Bittersweet with, as the name suggests, zesty mandarin freshness.

A sweet Negroni with some warm mandarine spices. I feel like it's not as interesting as the original, but certainly a lot more drinkable.

The best use of Campari this Campari hater has found. But I am stubbornly determined to finish the bottle.

If you're not a fan of the bitterness then this version, although full Campari'd up, is more drinkable due to the sweeter madarine flavour of the Absolut and the absence of gin.

Personally it can't be bitter enough for me 🤣 but everyone sometimes needs something slightly smoother

I swapped Campari with Galliano l'apertivo Amoro Bitter.
It was a very nice experience.

Very nice variation on the Negroni, a gentle variation. Will use it as an introduction to Negroni sceptics ;-)

Nice. Sweet/Bitter rather than Bittersweet!

Added to my growing list of Negroni variants, used Dolin rather than Bianco but none the worse for that.
