If you are looking for a simple but delicious after dinner cocktail, it doesn’t get much better than the Negroni. The combination of Gin and Campari makes for a slightly fruity flavor that is absolutely delicious.

Negroni Ingredients

This great drink comes together with three simple ingredients.

  • Gin: We love Bombay Saphire which is a great middle of the road gin. If you are looking for top shelf, we recommend Sipsmith London Dry Gin. If you are looking for a budget friendly option, try Gordon’s.
  • Campari: This is an Italian liqueur made with different herbs and fruit.
  • Sweet Vermouth: Vermouth is a wine that is flavored with different botanicals. You can find it in both sweet and dry. We are using sweet here, but we use dry in our Gin Martini .

How to Make a Negroni

  1. Fill a tumbler with ice.
  2. Add equal parts gin, Campari, and Sweet Vermouth. Stir to combine.
  3. Top with a little carbonated water and garnish with an orange peel.

What is a Negroni

A Negori is a classic Italian cocktail that combines three liquors in the perfect equal ratio. Traditionally, it is served as an aperitif, a cocktail before dinner.

Rumor has it that it is named for Pascal Olivier Count de Negroni, a French general, who asked a bartender in Florence to make a stronger version of his favorite cocktail, the Americano . The bartender obliged by trading out the carbonated water for gin.

Sounds like my kind of swap.

Negroni Variations

  • Americano: As mentioned above, if you swap the gin for carbonated water in a Negroni, you have an Americano.
  • Boulevardier: This recipes swaps the gin for whiskey, and it is delicious.
  • Agavoni: Swap the gin for tequila in this great twist.
  • Cardinale: If you only have dry vermouth, you can use that in place of the sweet and you will be making a Cardinale.
