Explore the balance of flavours and endless variations that make the Negroni a beloved drink for all
Enduring through the ages, the Negroni cocktail remains a timeless classic that originated in Italy in the early 20th century. This simple yet sophisticated mix of gin, vermouth, and Campari has become a global favourite.
What makes the Negroni so special is its balance of flavours. The gin provides a juniper-forward base, while the vermouth adds a touch of sweetness and complexity. Campari, with its bitter and herbal notes, serves as the perfect counterbalance, creating an easy-to-sip-on drink with just enough complexity to stay interesting.
So, if you’re looking to enjoy a Negroni, you can’t go wrong with the classic recipe of equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. But, if you’re looking to shake things up a bit, there are plenty of variations on the Negroni to try.
Take Studer’s Coffeegroni, for example – a unique twist on the classic. Mixing equal parts of Campari, SI-ON Vermouth Waldrauschen and the innovative BROOSTER cold brew coffee with Gin – this recipe is sure to be a winner among coffee and Negroni lovers alike. The cold brew coffee provides an intense, dark and bold flavour, giving the drink a unique texture, and making it more viscous and creamy. The familiar juniper and bitter notes from the gin and Campari are still present, maintaining the beloved Negroni essence.
The result? A refreshing and invigorating cocktail, perfect for coffee lovers and Negroni purists who want to enjoy the best of both worlds.
So, the next time you’re looking for a drink that’s both classic and exciting, give the Negroni a try.
