Old Flame

As Dale DeGroff, this cocktail's creator, says, it's a Negroni softened by fresh orange juice and a splash of triple sec

Negroni for non-Negroni folks. A good use of orange juice. Next time I would maybe bump up all the liquor a bit.

So much softer and more refreshing than I was expecting. Finally, a negroni(sh) that I can foist upon my negroni hating friends.

Excellent balance of ingrredients and second campari and orange juice drink I have loved, clearly the two are a perfect match.

Superb. A lovely dry and crisp drink, one for the book

I used 1757 Vermouth di Torino and then Aperol to reduce the bitterness coming from the vermouth. In sum I think this is a really good cocktail, but you have to choose the best combination of vermouth and bitter liqueur.

One of the best cocktails using orange juice (I used Cara Cara). (2 Mar 2024, 9:04a) ... Just made this again using Punt e Mes - that might solve the sweetness issue some of you might be experiencing... This cocktail happens to share a name with one of my favorite Thin Lizzy songs. Had it on repeat while preparing this drink and heating up some Cincinnati chili... Sigh, leftovers. (17 Oct 2024, 6:05a)

I found this to be too sweet. I used 3 oz Bombay Sapphire, cut the OJ back to 1 oz and added a dash of Regan's orange bitters. This may now become a favorite.

I juiced a few oranges that were approaching the "use 'em or lose 'em" stage, and then I went to Difford's cocktail finder to look for something to do with them. Avoiding the usual suspects, I decided that the Old Flame looked worth a try. It's a very good drink, with about the same alcohol content as a daiquiri made with two ounces of rum, but far more complexity. This is a much better drink than most drinks that use orange juice.
