As the name suggests, this is a blue-rinsed, orange-forward riff on a classic Negroni. If a six-ingredient Negroni seems over the top, try this simplified...
I have a handful of traditional Negroni loving friends who are very sceptical about the concept of a Blue Negroni. I have dabbled with them trying to generate something that isn't sweet and my traditionalists then added in to the challenge that to be authentic any recipe should be of 'equal parts'. After some experimentation and a green version produced using Gin, Suze & Blue Coração, I came up with the following combination which seemed sufficiently Negroniesque in taste and was made using 15 mls of each of the following ingredients:
London Dry Gin
Vodka (Stoli)
Tequila (Don Angel - I'm not much of Tequila drinker)
Luxardo Bitters
Cocchi Americano
Blue Coração
Those who sampled it gave it the thumbs up, but I'm yet to win over all of the traditionalists who merely saw the photo!
