  • one of my new favorites.
  • Classic, original, balanced, what more do you need
  • Eu coloco menos gin
  • Make with Bruto Americano.
  • Prefer 1/5 gin, 3/4 campari and 3/4 sweet vermouth.
  • Too bitter for me, but it's a classic — ★★★★★
  • So many ways to modify this cocktail to keep it fresh.
  • Perfect (Carpano Antica & Dolin) and sub Gran Classico for Campari. Always up or with a single large cube. People drone on far too much about this drink but it is an excellent beverage.
  • 1 plymouth navy, 1 campari, 1 carpano antica over 4 large ice cubes, stir, squeeze orange segment, add 1-2 more ice, stir.
  • Tasty variant: “chinagroni” 2oz gin .5oz Campari .5oz Sweet Vermouth and 1oz of China China Liquor. — ★★★★★

Christina,

My thoughts are as follows: Collapse all the "call" Negronis into the base cocktail, so "Special", "Perfect", Gran Classico, and the "Double Fisted", with notes in the comments explaining the variants. Keep the 4:2:1 Cornwall Negroni, the 6:4:3 Katie Loeb Negroni, and the White Negroni (with the Fatty Cue variant in notes), but figure out something to do with the East Indian, Negroni d'Or and Negroni that Wasn't. There might need to be a category for all the Aperol variants as well.

Thanks,

Zach

Tried a variation tonight, which worked for me; using Averna in place of sweet vermouth.

bradfels commented on 3/22/2016:

I've been enjoying this Negroni variant. Equal parts:

Gin

Kina L'Avion D'Or

Byrrh

Lemon twist.

Rocks or stirred and strained.

Did a side-by-side comparison 1:1:1 martin millers and campari with carpano vs. cocchi di torino and the cocchi was the surprising clear winner for my taste. Excellent!

pinkfloyd4ever commented on 4/06/2019:

I like my cocktails on the dry side, a little lower ABV, and I can never get enough bitter! So lately I've been doing:

3/4 oz Tanqueray

1 oz Campari

3/4 oz Cocchi di Torino

Try it! It's absolute heaven in a glass!

It's been delisted from KC but this might be the place to note Lynnette Marrero's "Toffee Negroni," which is equal parts amontillado sherry, Aperol, and aged rum, on a rock with a grapefruit twist. 

Chezerac commented on 7/10/2020:

I make a variation I call Negroni Za'faran: I sub Aperol for Campari and use a homemade saffron simple syrup. I use the following ratios- 1:1 Bombay Sapphire Gin and Aperol, 1/2 part vermouth, 1/2 part saffron simple syrup. Garnish with expressed orange peel. I would love to get some feed back from others on what they think of this.
