Chocolate Negroni
The chocolate in this riff on a classic Negroni seems to boost the orange notes in the Italian red bitter liqueur

Tried once with Campari, which completely overpowered the drink. Much better chocolate flavour when using Carpano Botanic Bitter.

I may have gone overboard with the chocolate bitters but this is really good with Cocchi Dopo Teatro Vermouth Amaro.

I accidentally put Cynar instead of Campari on this occasion but want unhappy as it retained the fundamental sweet- bitter balance and just added some extra depth.

Easily done! Salut!

Stirred with some scraps of orange peel (from shaping the garnish), great roundness and velvety texture, it tastes like a slightly improved Negroni with hints of complexity from the cocoa (I used a homemade creme de cacao, might have helped). Definitely at par with the classic version.

Retrying with the brilliant de Kuyper cacao. Just so delicious! Did add a splash extra cacao and one extra drop of bob’s excellent chocolate bitters.

I’m going to go with the crowd and advocate for 10ml cacao and 8 drops chocolate bitters. As a chocolate lover, if it says chocolate I expect chocolate!

Probably my favourite Negroni variant. I'm currently enjoying this for Negroni Week 2024. I don't think I've had this variant since New Year and right now I'm struggling to work out why not :-D (Chocolate Negroni)

This is a beautifully balanced cocktail. To those commenters here advocating more chocolate, I would simply say that it's a Chocolate Negroni, not Negroni chocolate.

This drink was well-received by my crowd on Easter. Couldn't find Dutch Cacao so I settled for a generic brand. Will try more chocolate next time, as noted in other comments.

As noted by others, the chocolate is subtle, but definitely present. A really delicious Negroni!
