Strawberry Negroni

i steeped the strawberries (quartered) for a day or so before muddling. they came through with real presence. flavours work well but orange is far, far superior. decent enough drink, just not to my taste.

I found the strawberries barely noticeable, the Campari is still super dominant. I might try again with more strawberries and/or less Campari.

The strawberries and mint nudge this delightfully from autumn back to late summer.

The fruit makes this special without making it much sweeter or much more complicated. The fruit balances the bitterness of the Negroni; use your preferred Negroni proportions. With muddled fruit I just shake rather than stir, and I strain as usual; fine straining is overly fussy for a drink that ain't a martini to begin with. This is a template that can be used with other fruits and with White Negronis as well, e.g., a White Peach Negroni. Experiment to match ingredient brands/styles to fruits.
