Negroni Variants

[gibsonknives]

I love a Negroni; one of my go-to cocktails. I like to add a few dashes of black walnut bitters to mine. Anyone else have any cool variations on this classic?

When Ron Dan and I were deep into Negronis we went down a path of adding a touch of Mezcal for a smokey forward flavor. Its a nice touch

Mezcal Negroni's absolutely rip.

I went down an amaro rabbit hole - buying a bunch of obscure shit whenever I saw something I'd never seen before.

Some worked, some didn't - the ones that didn't I drank over ice with soda. But, all in all - I found they change up the Negroni in an awesome way.

Best Alternatives to Campari I found were:
Bruto Americano
Faccia Brutto, Gorini
Distillerie Capitoline N'Amaro, hard to find https://folkwayswines.com/
Cocchi Rosa

My absolute favorite Negroni variant is a rye version and it’s not quite a boulevardier. I do equal parts High West Double Rye, Cynar, and Carpano Antica. Built just like a classic Negroni but it’s a good year-round cocktail for me.

I’ll give it a whirl

So you were replacing the Campari rather than adding to the original trio of ingredients?

This was the Friday motivation I needed. Enjoying one now. Ideally I have time for 2-3 more and then JV drops the Sangin and I can slam that buy button.

If you haven't subbed the gin out for the Tanquery Sevilla Orange gin it's a solid twist

Yessir - exactly.

Yessir - exactly.

Also try Gran Classico as a replacement for Campari.
