I kept the 4:3:2 ratio and used Tallisker Skye, Marionetta Vermouth and Campari. Cracking cocktail : )

Loved this drink. Used Monkey Shoulder, Cocchi, and Campari, and had no orange, so used a lemon peal…it was excellent!! Surprised how cocoa flavours were coming out.

Having inherited some blended scotch, I was delighted to see this.
And delighted to see the happy reviews.
I might put a splash of Islay in next time. And there will be a next time!

Looks like this recipe has changed a bit over time. Just made it with 40 ml Johnnie Walker Black, 30 ml Dolin Rouge, 20 ml Campari. Excellent; well-balanced.

Also good with a wee bit of Liquore Strega added.

Upon further review I've decided it's actually a Scotch Boulevardier. Peat is a distraction here so I eliminated the Islay and used Glenfiddich this time (don't have much blended scotch). Definitely needs less bitter red than a bourbon Boulevardier so stuck with 4:2:1 proportions rather than 4:3:2. This time I used Carpano Antica and Martini & Rossi Riserva Speciale Bitter + dash of Angostura Orange bitters. Good balance of bitter and sweet. Garnished with dried blood orange slice. Excellent!

So, I would highly recommend my recipe for this cocktail. I’m getting the scotch, bitters and good balance without being too sweet.
- 3 oz scotch
- 1.5 oz Campari
- 3/4 oz sweet vermouth
Stir everything to chill and dilute and then pour into martini glass to have it up! It’s so good!!

Don't care what this is called or like, it is bloody good. The Scotch Whisky adds an interesting touch. Was great as an aperitif.

A mixological Rorschach test: it's a Scotch Negroni, no, it's a Scotch Boulevardier, no,...it's a Campari'd Rob Roy! The Campari is best used sparingly. I wanted some peat (but not too much) so used 1 oz Islay (Bunnahabhain), 1 oz Speyside (Glenlivet), 1 oz Dolin rouge, and 1/2 oz Campari. Simple numbers for my simple brain. Can't imagine using more Campari (or more Islay, for that matter). Not wanting to squeeze the orange wheel, added a dash of Fee Bros. Orange Bitters. Slainte mhath!

Loved this 4/3/2 ratio. It definitely brings the Boulevardier into Negroni territory. Made mine with Jonnie Walker Black, Cocchi Storico, Campari. After a few sips added a spoon of Ardbeg and a dash of Regan's Orange bitters with with good results. Maybe a half a dash of the bitters would suffice.

Nice, but even hedging my bets at the notes that scotch gets lost and using closer to Boulevardier ratios (45/22/22) it still kind of gets lost.

Scotch kind of gets lost in this concoction. Like it much better with mezcal or even rum

I’m convinced that you add Campari to just about anything and it will taste great. This one is no exception

Huge fan of scotch and the Negroni, but never thought of putting them together. Made it with 2 parts Johnnie Walker Black and 1 part each Campari and Cocchi di Torino. Looking forward to trying it with a single malt, as that may become my new favorite drink.

Tried a variation of this with Ardbeg (possibly my least favourite Islay Malt' had a bottle knocking around the last couple of years) with Campari and Punt e Mes (Martini tastes like a cheap margarita pizza if you ask me). I won't be ordering one when the bars re-open but for a massive kick it's worth a try.
