  • Very nicely balanced and the herbal-ness makes a nice contrast to the cognac richness.

Veneto Negroni

1 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro (Zucca will work here too)
1⁄2 oz Aperol
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1 twst Grapefruit peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.

History

After posting my Dark Entries on Instagram and receiving the comment by Haus Alpenz's Jake Parrott that the "50:50 rabarbaro and red bitter is a classic café drink in the Veneto – one of many drinks in Italy to get the moniker 'mezzo-mezzo'," I was inspired to tinker. I decided to use that duo of Sfumato and Aperol in a classic Negroni, and I dubbed the result the Veneto Negroni (and not the Mezzo-Mezgroni).

Used Cocchi Vermouth di Torino (.5 oz) and Vermut Lustau Rose (.5oz), because I ran out of the Cocchi...too honeyed of a taste, assume it was due to the Cocchi...Would prefer something less sweet.

sevyryelsdorn commented on 11/12/2022:

I tried using a lower proof rye (Templeton) to reduce my buzz, but the result wasn't great. I'm not going to rate it since I didn't make to spec, but as made it was a 3-4. Needed either higher octane as specified or some more ~aromatic bitters to keep it from being cloying.

  • I went a little light on the Fernet and a little heavy on the syrup to accommodate my local audience. Very tasty! Will make again.
  • A bit raw, but fun escalation in the finish.
