Negrino
A riff on the classic Negroni from Vietnam, which brilliantly set the richness of sloe gin against bone dry fino sherry while harnessing the herbal bitterness...

In the God Forsaken land I live, I am quite sure people buys de the Sloe Gin and never get it: why my gin taste so strange? Is absolutely a must something to be learn. I always have because of the 'Chaplin' and for 'Kiss the boys goodbye'. I use it here 'Monkey Sloe Gin' . My main reason is that I am just learning the Sherry in all presentations so this is a very good chance: sometimes I think the Sherry, muy seco, palo seco I still haven't tried the oloroso-stinky one could be behaving like vermouth?????!!!! :O. Wellte negrino: is very good, a little into the soapy taste, but is a good soap. I went with a lesser proportion into the Suze, first because is one of those flavors -like Pernod that is just a little revolting- and second since I have to travel internationally to bring another bottle. I started with the Enzoni, and now the Negrino... is like the multiverse of Negroni :D

Imho, the Suze is overpowering the rest of the ingredients. Will try again with 15 or even 10ml Suze. Delicious tho!

Try Salers instead of Suze

This was a great aperitivo cocktail, we absolutely loved it. Just that the Italian guest of my party was quite startled with the name since apparently "ino" is a suffix in Italian to express something is small or cute and the previous part of the name equating the N-word in Italian. So yea an unfortunate wording for native Italian speakers apparently.

Wethinks you and your Italian guest were being a wee bit overly sensitive about the root negr-...but we hesitate to use the W-word. Should we be politely asking the good folk of Montenegro to consider a name change for their country? The root negr- simply means black. But we agree with you that it's a lovely aperitivo. Cheers.

In the absence of Suze threw in some Averna, which no doubt changed the flavour profile but which we certainly enjoyed!

I'm loving fino as a cocktail ingredient at the moment - and this is is a peach, really delicious!

I love Suze and I love good Sloe Gin. This is a marriage made in Fino Heaven. Next time I'll give this a brief stir on ice and strain into a chilled coupe.

Awesome!

Is the garnish supposed to be a grapefruit wedge or a grapefruit twist? The photo has a twist, but the text says wedge.

The original recipe specifies wedge but we preferred with a twist. I have amended the garnish specified above accordingly. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
