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...

A bit too bitter for me. I'll tinker with some variations on it.

Try Americano with proportions 1:1:1. You'll see that it's not campari that is bitter but the combination of gin and campari. I would try to add less gin first.

This is a much too bitter recipe for me. Campari is really too bitter and i only taste it with that 3/3/3 measurement. I found a better one that i will share that is much more balanced according to me. Gin 4.5cl Vermouth 3cl Campari 1.5cl . I would also recommend to crac the ice before you stir it. This is quite a strong drink so the fact to crac the ice will add more dilution to the cocktail. Cheers

For seasoned Negroni drinkers, equal parts, or possibly with a touch more gin, is the only way. A Negroni, is designed to be a strong bitter aperitivo. However, reading your comment and recipe, and others on this page, I will look to add a "Sweet Negroni" and I foresee the Negroni ending up like the Manhattan, with Dry, Perfect and Sweet standard serves. Many thanks for contributing.

I used aperol instead of campari, and it works pretty well

It´s odd as the first one I ever tried in Madrid recently didn´t really strike me ( although it did blow my head off ! ) but after subsequent mixings using your recipe I have become a firm fan. It´s easy to make, intense but sublime....and strong ! thank you for the recipe Mr Difford.

Always a good-to-go when I'm too lazy or rushed to consider something more fancy.

A bit too rich for me, but I added tonic and it lightened it up perfectly. So I would recommend a Negroni and Tonic.

I serve these up; I've had ice in the glass for years and now prefer it without.

3/4 oz Campari is more to my taste, added 1/4 oz gin to Equal the mix.

"To garnish with a lemon slice is a heinous crime" is now my favorite cocktail quote.

A dried orange slice makes an excellent garnish for this.

If I could only have one kind of cocktail, it would be the Negroni. I make them with gin, rum, mezcal. The drink of the gods.

Not a Negroni anymore though .. is it ?
And about the proportions, 1/3 each ?

Was still making this and other red vermouth drinks regardless but today I've bought the Cocchi Torino vermouth and it's now a gamechanger. When I can't decide on a drink I'll be making this as I peruse this website
