1 fl oz Gin (Citadelle Rouge)
1 fl oz Campari
1⁄2 fl oz Red Vermouth (Storico VdT)
1⁄2 fl oz Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro
Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice.Strain into a chilled DOF glass over a large cube of block ice. Express orange zest twist over cocktail and drop in as garnish.
The gin I used has rhubarb as an ingredient, but not a rhubarb-infused gin. It paired nicely with the amaro. The amaro also brings a unique rooty bitterness without overpowering the Campari and dials down the overall sweetness.
If I served this in the blind, you’d notice something subtly different without quite putting your finger on it. Very much a Negroni first with a slight smoky bitter twist.
