This is a very different cocktail compared to the original, and I like that. Riffs should be different. To me, though, this was more like Sangria. I don't really like wines, so it wasn't for me. The original was perfect, but I did use navy strength gin in it. At least Strucchi's Instagram reel calls only for dry gin. That makes we wonder how it differs from Negroni Sour. The only difference I can see is 5 ml in lemon juice. But maybe I would need to actual see the original recipe for Apocalypse Negroni.
