Negroni Cocktail
Glowing red, the Negroni manages to be both sophisticated and simple at the same time and is definitely for a grown-up palate - for many it's simply too...

Yesterday I tried the Garibaldi, followed by the Americano. I decided I’m not a fan of Campari. Today I decided to give the Negroni a try, and the gin certainly helps, but still not for me... yet. It was a new bottle of Campari, so I will continue sampling its family of cocktails until the bitter end. Hopefully I can acquire a taste for it, the flavours are interesting but a little too bitter for my palate.

In my experience, I acquired a taste for it surprisingly quickly, and now I really savor every sip. It's just a great ingredient for sipping cocktails. I'm rotating it with the Enzoni cocktail which adds sweet grapes and lemon juice in place of vermouth which softens the bitter edge of the Campari.

A cocktail I really like which is less bitter than the traditional Negroni is the Iron Negroni which switches out Campari for Ferro China Baliva. Perhaps worth a try next time.
