A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

From the Knowledge Vault

The Flight of the Negroni

The Negroni is indomitable. Attack it with skewed ratios, and it rallies. Violate the ingredients, and it stubbornly persists. I can’t think of another drink that you can screw up so thoroughly and still enjoy the result.

This history of the Negroni is disputed, but probably dates to 1919, where the Americano was stiffened by substituting gin for the soda water. Regardless of exactly who created the drink and when, the Negroni is the King of bitter cocktails. If you spy a bottle of Campari on the backbar, the bartender probably knows how to make a Negroni.

  • Re Xantès Cocktail, 52 minutes 13 seconds ago Murasaki commented:

    Tried it with the original proportions, but with homemade raspberry liqueur, Plymouth navy strength, combier triple sec (since I don’t have Cointreau noir), and punt e mes. Unfortunately the punt e mes overpowers it a bit. It opens up with a generous splash of soda.

  • Re Atty, 2 hours ago drinkingandthinking commented:

    Here's an example of how the same ingredients can make a very different drink. This is virtually identical to the Attention ( https://kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/attention) but the drinks taste very different. The vermouth tames the absinthe and allows the gin to shine though and is a 4 star while the Attention is a 2 star for me...

    Better than a Toronto or a Hanky Panky

    Great additions & fixes - thank you, Shawn!

  • Re Mexican Necromancer, 1 day ago jaymc commented:

    Very nice. Quite similar to Kyle Davidson's The Dry Season, but with the addition of bitters and slightly different proportions of the liqueurs.
