Negroni cocktail history and recipe variations

Review

A classic Negroni consists of equal parts gin, Italian red bitters and sweet vermouth, garnished with an orange slice. When in season, a splash of blood orange juice adds a refreshing citrusy tang.

I made it with alcohol-free BTTR and upped the juice. Less bitter, more fruity Negroni, quite delicious.

I fancied matching the blood Orange flavour with the cola notes of punt e mes, so served it Fergroni style: 35 Botanist gin, 22.5 punt, 15 Campari, 30 juice. I felt it worked. Potent.

Surprised how good the aftertaste is. I did use Cocchi di Torino, of course. The juice takes a little edge off the Campari, but the drink remains quite bitter. Very nice. (27 Feb 2025, 11:52a)

I used a Supermarket blood orange which gave juicy orange flavours. The Campari bitterness was toned down quite a bit. An easy Negroni to drink but probably too easy for a hardcore Negroni lover.

Made (several times) with our home grown blood oranges- (always handy to have essential citrus growing a couple of metres away from the kitchen.)
Absolute late arvo winner- bumped up the vol's from 22.5 to 30ml to make it a worthwhile quencher- used Roku gin and blood orange zest twist and rub. This will be on high rotation while our tree produces fruit.

I’d only add a good rub of the rim with orange or blood orange peel

Another stepping stone drink for someone who never had a Negroni. Really nice!

Not as good as a Negoni but almost, and very interesting! Tho if you have a low value vermouth (namely Matrini) this improves a Negroni a lot!
