  • Prefer 1.25 oz gin, dolin vermouth, 2 dashes orange bitters
  • Never been a fan of Campari, but I like this with other amaro. Prefer with Ramazzotti, a variation unofficially known as Kuragin in our house (after the fictional Prince Kuragin in Downton Abbey). Nice big orange peel is essential. — ★★★★★
  • Also good up. Sub Cynar for Campari and use Punt e mes for the vermouth and you have another excellent drink.
  • Add 3 ds orange bitters. Variations: Use Martini & Rossi Bianco sweet white vermouth Toby Maloney: half Campari/half Cynar; Carpano Antica — ★★★★★

Comments

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.



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!


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. 


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.
