I love this negroni-martini (magroni? negrini?). People have described it well in the comments. All four elements of the drink come through nicely—with the Cointreau in a more supportive “glue” role.

I used the 3:1:1:1 original ratio, and found it balanced—Difford’s 2:1:1:1 I imagine offers an alternative that pulls back the bite (which might be a welcome mod for some!) If I wanted it less boozy, I’d prefer that to the option of putting it on the rocks… which runs the risk of thinning it out.

loved it! nice riff on the classic negroni

Can't decide between a martini and negroni? This is the drink! I've got an olive leaf gin I can't wait to try this with.

Delightful. Quite right —this is much more pleasant than the regular Negroni. More refreshing, brighter, and perhaps more refined with Aperol instead of Campari.

Super!!!

This is an underrated cocktail. Made with Monkey 47 or similar quality gin, this is an amazing drink. This should be 5 stars.

I've been a Negroni man for years, but I wanted the change things up a bit. This is quite good! I'm sipping one on the rocks as I post this. I see why Simon recommends Noilly Prat and not plain old M & R. You really need the "bite" of Noilly.

This works on the rocks just like a Negroni (use bigger ice if you are unsure you will enjoy the dilution). It is a bit less bitter, the orange stands out better, also the color is pink and fun. Depending on the triple sec this can be a less sweet, less bitter, more citrusy alternative to Negroni. Probably won't replace it in your repertoire but can find its way as a variation so we don't get bored.
