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...
A perfectly measured Negroni, was an unpleasant introduction, to what has become an occasional favorite. Compari has enough strength to ruin a good cocktail. To some tastes, it's overwhelming. Using that metric, I reduce Compari to 7/8 oz., followed with 1 1/4 oz. of Tanqueray, and 1 oz. of Carpano Antica. This combination, delivers a complex flavor profile, that delights my sense of taste. A good Negroni, seems dependent on individual balance of the three contributors. Hitting the right balance amount s to a Home Run.
