This is delicious. We split the citrus 50:50 lemon and orange juice...more luscious for us.

Tried it with ferro china baliva instead of Campari.
So obviously this did give a brown colour to the cocktail.
Rather have the iron negroni cocktail or standard negroni.
Not convinced about the sour element added to this.

Very tasty drink! I do reverse dry shake, but otherwise followed the recipe. I think it's delicious and does temper and sweeten a wee bit the usual Negroni bitterness. I make our Negronis with a 50/50 Campari/Aperol blend and may try this drink that way. But, it's just fine as is. Cheers!

Ratios provided a very tasty drink with Campari and Punt E Mes rather than Struchi (isn't Campari the default for Negroni?).
A great aperitif.

This is an excellent way to kick off Negroni Week 2024. Happy Monday! (Negroni Sour)

I'll admit it straight away - I'm a bitterness lover.
By replacing vermouth with Punt e Mes, I got a great balance of bitterness, sweetness and acidity.
I warn you right away: the bitterness is forward, but the lemony and sugary aftertaste is incredible!

This really lets the orange in the Campari shine through. Bitterness is still there but less intense than a regular Negroni, not surprisingly. Mild lemon. Herbal. Smooth. A bit on sweet side. This is a nice option if you're not in the mood for something as bitter as a Negroni, or don't like how bitter a Negroni is. Could also be a good "gateway" cocktail for those that are not familiar with Campari.

Very tasty cocktail for me, it has the right amount of bitter, sweet, and sour. It gives a creamy mouthfeel and refreshing taste, and don't forget the beautiful smell of orange peel.
