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...

It is definitely in my top 40, but I find it a little too sweet when using equal parts. 1 1/4, 1, and 3/4 works better for me. Or sometimes I'll replace the vermouth with a 50/50 mix of vermouth and Aperol.

IMO one of the most overhyped cocktails ever. I absolutely love each of the individual ingredients, but I feel in the Negroni they take away from each other rather than adding to one another. When I do occasionally make a Negroni, I usually cut the Campari by half, after which the balance works for me.

It works well in many different formulas. Personally I like it with more gin than the classic 1-1-1 ratio.

Depending on the gin, I like adding an extra 10ml or so to the mix.
I find Warner's London Dry gin to be my favourite to use, with Tanqueray 10 and MGC to be close runners up.

I also like to add 10-15ml extra gin. Even a 2:1:1 ratio of ingredients works out nicely.

Hi there. I would like to share a variety replacing half (or even the full amount) of Campari with Becherovka liqueur. It makes a great sipper for winter times with spicy cloves and cinnamon.
To be honest, I came up with it on Christmas eve 2020 when I ran out of Campari and was looking for a bitter replacement. Because of that true story and the gingerbread taste, I suggest to call it a Christmas Negroni.
Cheers and Merry Christmas to all discerning drinkers.

Many thanks, Andreas. This is a brilliant festive riff. I took the liberty of adding to your recipe before adding the Christmas Negroni to Difford's Guide (I'll add an image as soon as Dan can shoot). Please see the link under "Variant" above. Merry Christmas.

Just made this, my hid it was bitter. I have a really sweet tooth. But after a few sips, it grew on me. I made the mistake of not having an Orange around. It absolutely needed it.
I made one for the missus and she hated it, even topped it up with soda water and put a lime in it! Bloody heathen. Down the sink.
Will defo try again with the orange.

Pink grapefruit peel usually seems to work when you have run out of oranges.

Absolute favorite cocktail, especially with a couple dashes of Grapefruit Bitters. I keep Stappi Italian red soda in stock for dry days.

Thank you. Grapefruit bitters have just arrived, and I'll give them a try in this.
