Sibling Negroni Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

One of the earliest reports of a drink by the name "Negroni" came from Orson Welles in correspondence with the Coshocton Tribune while working in Rome on Cagliostro in 1947, where he described a new drink called the Negroni, "The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you. They balance each other." [12] Although 1:1:1 is the classic ratio, I don't believe there's a one-size-fits-all ratio for a Negroni because it very much depends on the flavor profiles of the gin, vermouth and bitters that you're bringing together. I love Carpano Antica as a vermouth, but as an equal partner with gin and bitters in a Negoni, I find its stronger flavor profile dominates the drink too much. The best part of a Negroni is that it’s made with equal parts of each ingredient. All you have to do is remember which ingredients you need! Looking for another Negroni recipe?

Higher-proof type of Gin, like Navy Strength Gins (at 115 proof), will produce a boozier result. With a higher amount of alcohol alone, your Negroni will taste much more Gin-forward. No need to even change measurements.

Nolet's Silver Dry Gin is very floral and fruity. The juniper notes are almost non-existent, and that's precisely why Nolet's Silver Gin is such a great fit. A similar recipe of 2:1:1 gin, vermouth, and Campari is attested from the Parisian book Thenon (1929) as the "Camparinete", where it is credited to Albert of the [Hôtel] Chatam (Chatham hotel), and specifies Cora brand vermouth and a lemon zest. The same book credits Albert of the Chatham bar with the Rose, though that is attested years earlier by another bartender at the same bar, so it is not clear if Albert originated this variant of the drink, or simply represented the bar in this collection. But if you are looking for a certain time of day to drink a Negroni, we would suggest mixing one up before your dinner. The Negroni is so iconic, it’s spawned many variations over the years. The Boulevardier is a spin off on the Negroni using bourbon whiskey instead of gin. Even better, make it a Negroni Sbagliato, a bubbly version with sparkling wine! You can also swap out the Campari for Aperol. Here are a few well-known variations on the Negroni:

Negroni cocktail variations

Rutte's Dry Gin is a low-key styled Dry Gin that works perfectly in a Negroni. With only eight different botanicals, there are only a few surprises. The biggest one is the fennel. It adds a herbal note to the overall fresh character of the Gin. Serve: Optionally, add fresh ice. Squeeze a 1-inch wide orange peel over the glass to express its oils. Pinch and turn to make a twist and add to the drink as garnish. Cheers! Together, they give you a drinking experience that is rich and delectably complex with a wonderfully moreish finish. What is so good about Negroni?

Although the herbal flavors of the gin and the spiciness from the sweet vermouth are present, it’s really the Campari that boldly takes charge. What to Serve with Negronis

But, while this classic Negroni recipe produces reliably delicious results, we sometimes like to nudge up the proportion of gin for a final result that’s beautifully balanced and oh-so sippable. TO ICE OR NOT TO ICE? Old pal – rye whiskey instead of gin, dry vermouth instead of (sweet) vermouth rosso, served straight up with an orange twist

Nett, Dani (11 October 2022). "Why everyone is talking about Negroni sbagliato — and how to make your own". NPR . Retrieved 13 October 2022. Some misguided folk call for the Negroni to be shaken but it should, of course, be stirred, although there is something about this no-nonsense drink that doesn't suit fussing about with mixing glasses and strainers, so I prefer the ingredients assembled and mixed directly over ice in the glass in which it is to be served. As for the sweet vermouth, there are a number of different options. We find that Carpano Antica is an excellent all-rounder for Negronis, while Cinzano Rosso also works well (as does Martini Rosso). For a Negroni of extra bitterness and complexity, rich and potent Punt e Mes is also a good selection. The base of any great gin starts with carefully chosen botanicals, like juniper berries that give the piney taste. The other ingredients, for example, coriander seed, cassia bark, Angelica root, cardamom, star anise, and citrus peel add more flavors and contribute to a higher complexity.

Review:

Categorized into many different types, you can find thousands of brands on the market. And often, each brand offers more than just one product. It goes without saying that with such a massive selection, the flavor profiles, botanicals, and proof vary widely. Hayward, Mark (2014-06-18). "Mark Hayward's City Matters".

Whether you’re entertaining indoors or enjoying an evening on the patio, the Negroni is a classic sipper that requires very few ingredients, is easy to whip up and will impress with its bold and flavorful ingredients. Mezcal Negroni: This version uses mezcal, a smoky tequila-adjacent liquor, in place of gin. "I'm not super into smoke, but the Negroni is the great harmonizer of big, bold flavors," says Watson.
