Witches' Negroni
A classic Negroni, bewitched by a splash of Strega liqueur

This does actually work. The minty tang of Strega comes through and does in fact match the Campari. I will try vermouth di Torino next time.

Bumping up the gin to 45ml was fine, knocking back the Campari to 22.5 less so. Topped it back up again to get the Campari fruitiness. There’s a reason the classics are the way they are!

Just tried this again splitting the vermouth one third- Cocchi Dopo Teatro vermouth amaro and two thirds+ Dolin dry, and increasing the Strega slightly. Made for a lighter but just as complex five star negroni.♡

Yes the robustness and depth of the vermouth di Torino definitely also works here.
