A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

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.

    I’m finding I also like this with an equal part saline to absinthe, instead of the cherries.

    I agree that it's a bit high on the citrus, so more tart than sweet, but I'm okay with that. Not terribly complex but not quite a juice bomb either. I feel like the Heering comes through in a subtle way, and adding a bit more tames the acid but adds too much of the cherry syrupy-ness.
