How do the grapes tame the Campari so beautifully? A gorgeous drink.

Signore Vinzenzo Errico is a great bartender and human being. And the Enzoni a great drink! I've put it in several menus in our consultancies around the world.

i was fortunate enough to have 7 food grapes leftover and happened upon this in my wishlist so i smashed it right out. this is fucking lit i love it. might have to keep green grapes in the gaff at all times.

You might try freezing them too! They freeze very well and when shaken can cool down the cocktail just like ice does + they give their flavour!

The grapes add another dimension to Campari's bitterness. Very good.

I found it a touch sweet which also masked the Campari a tad. Dropping the syrup to 12.5ml gave the Campari more space without it dominating....which I know it easily can before your palate acclimatises

Since most cocktails, I’ve tried making using Campari have been either terrible or decent, due to my tastebuds not liking Campari as of right now, I Tried making this classic with 15ml of Campari as opposed to 30ml of Campari and this drink worked great, which overtime I’m hoping to slowly add more Campari, Until I’m capable of drinking the recommended amount of Campari, since this definitely a good Cocktail to make to try and get someone to appreciate Campari

I went through a similar thing with campari, try select. it's very similar but different enough you may find it a good substitute for campari .

Used pisco over gin for some prominent grape flavors since I don't have fresh grapes.. A great substitution.

Great summer version for Negroni lovers!
Went with 2 more grapes + 1/4 oz lime cordial instead of the lemon and sugar syrup, also added 2 dashes of homemade ginger-lemon bitters. really liked it

Using good ice in the glass can't be emphasized enough here, the taste just keeps evolving with every slow sip. Amazing drink

Perfect balance ! Love it.

Great cocktail. Tried it recently with some fresh cherries we had and it was great as well.
13th July 2022 at 02:20
Ran out of gin so I tried a cranberry gin liquor instead and dropped the sugar a bit. Tasty!

An all time favorite.. Although I prefer Aperol or a 50 50 mix of Aperol and Campari for a more approachable drink.

After reading this, made one drink with Campari and another with Aperol for a taste test, and the latter won out. Thanks for the suggestion.

“Dangerously delicious” seems a bit of an understatement, and with ¾ oz. lemon juice and ¼ oz. syrup it tasted even better! (But it was a very good lemon.) I don’t usually have second helpings, but with this one I couldn’t help myself.

Old Tom Gin, Martini Riserva Speciale Bitter and Red Sable Grapes with Clear Ice Spear (broken in three).
So good and seriously moreish!

Oooo! Yum! So well balanced and very refreshing.

I used wild berries for a lack of grapes and added a dash of Absinth. Delicious!
2nd February 2022 at 21:20
I've just tried this with a Rhum Agricole. Sweeter but very tasty with nicely complementary aromas of grapes and rhum.
29th January 2022 at 21:00
My wife called this one "dangerously delicious" and I agree. I made one with plain Bluecoat gin and one with Bluecoat's Elderflower gin (Elder Enzoni?). We found the regular Bluecoat to be better. I'm planning on making one with the Barrell-Aged Bluecoat and red grapes the next time we have red grapes.

I am in love with the simple delicacies this cocktail can provide. It mostly reminds me of my deck in summer with boys either side of my arms. Bless you Vincenzo. MWAH!

Excellent recipe, the grapes work very well.
Tried it with Eversbusch, a german 46% Schnaps with no other botanicals than lots of juniper. It’s called Doppel Wacholder. Straight in my top ten.

I see I’m late to the party with this one! Beautiful cocktail. Straight into my top ten.

Enzonis are great. Also really like the Fall Enzoni (made with rye whiskey, red grapes - and a bit more lemon & syrup - look it up!)
18th December 2021 at 17:00
Good call John. I've added a link to the Fall Enzoni above.

Great cocktail to soften the bitterness of Campari without taking it away. Certainly one I could not stop sipping!
26th September 2021 at 06:46
Maybe the way I did it, maybe back in time I couldn't stand campari enough. Still; The flavour for me was a bit too strong. I prefer a classic or a white negroni

Such a tasty cocktail.
You need to make it as a double or it’s gone before you know it.
A great into to Campari

Love a Negroni so I thought I would try this. Deelicious. Think the Campari is tempered by the lemon juice and grapes, this might be my new Friday night cocktail.

Interesting drink, personally think the spice of the Opihr unbalances the drink (doesn’t play perfectly with the citrus too) but still tasty. What other gins would users recommend? (Plymouth worked well for me)
10th December 2020 at 07:36
Hi Ross. Sounds like you have Opihr as your selected gin in "Your ingredients" so as your prefered choice of gin it is showing in the above recipe. I recommend Rutte Dry Gin and also love Plymouth.

Wonderful. I could drink 5 of this cocktail in a row. So easy to drink, light and delightful.
7th November 2020 at 20:36
As I had grapes kicking around, thought a quick search for a grape cocktail might be fun. Was not disappointed, if you like a Negroni, this is a great twist to try. Will definitely make again.
