Negroni Week?

Apparently, today is the penultimate day of Negroni Week. I have to confess that I didn't enjoy it the first time I tried a negroni. It was simultaneously bitter and sweet, a flavor that I would describe, for lack of better words, as overly bright. At some point, I read an article discussing the relative opacity of ingredients in spirits and liqueurs. The article quoted a bartender pointing out that many foodies will happily pay $50 a plate for a farm-to-table organic entrée but then turn […]

¾ oz sweet vermouth
½ oz Campari
1 oz gin
1 oz Blended Aged Rum ❸

Shake // Open pour // Garnish: orange peel, mint sprig

Wrapping up #NegroniWeek with a tiki riff: this one goes direction tropical by wrapping layers around that core negroni template. Originally by San Francisco bartender Dominic Alling.

NEGRONI BIANCO BERGAMOTTO

1 oz Italicus
1 oz dry vermouth
1 oz gin

Stir // Strain // Garnish: green olives

As Negronis go it's a smooth affair with very little bitter flavor. Crushable, as they say. Also I gotta shout-out to my local farmer's market for the amazing olives: one is pimento, the other blanched almond with garlic mince.

–=≠ MEZCALERO ≠=–

1 oz Aperol
1 oz blanc vermouth
1 oz mezcal

Stir // Strain // Garnish: grapefruit twist

A simple Negroni riff that dials down the bitter while subbing in my favorite smokey replacement for gin. The use of sweet vermouth was key to this one's balance IMO. I couldn't track down the originator, but I saw it on IG luifern's channel.
