Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Negroni cocktail in 2019 #N100

As some of you may have gathered, the classic Negroni cocktail is one of my favourite gin serves. Seeing as 2019 is the 100th anniversary of the Negroni cocktail, I’m very happy to be exploring the breadth of this simple cocktail with you in this post. I even dyed my hair the colour of my favourite drink! #sponsoredbynegroni – not!

What is a Negroni?

A Negroni cocktail is *classically* three equal parts of gin, Campari and sweet (red) vermouth. These are stirred with ice and then served in a rocks class with a slice of fresh orange. That’s the classic way to serve a Negroni, however there are literally hundreds of variations that can be done (and that’s before you switch out the gin for other spirits!). We’ll talk about these more below…

The history of the Negroni cocktail:

The story goes a little something like this:

Step back to 1919’s Florence, the Count Negroni had a bit of a shit week and needed something stronger than the classic Americano cocktail. So he asked the barman to replace the soda water with gin and the cocktail ‘in the style of Count Negroni’, eventually shortened to the Negroni, was born.

A post shared by Sarajane (@lovegin_and_rex) on May 10, 2019 at 2:36am PDT

The Americano cocktail itself is a an ‘Americanised’ version of the classic Italian Milano-Turino. A mix of the Campari bitter from Milan and the sweet Vermouth from Turino. The result was a little too bitter for American tourists visiting Italy on their Grand Tours, and so they added soda water to lengthen and offset the bitterness (the salt in the soda water also reduces the bitter flavours). According to the Italians, this American obsession with adding water also led to the Americano coffee (espresso lengthened with extra hot water).

Is it true?

Now the story of how the Negroni cocktail came to be and the actual background of the Count Negroni has been under much scrutiny. This article from the Drinking Cup cites new evidence that the story above is essentially true. However another branch of the Negroni family still disputes this, saying their Count Negroni invented the Negroni cocktail in Senegal.

Whichever story you believe/like, one thing is certain – the Negroni is having it’s time now!

Negroni variations

As mentioned above there are so many variations that can be made simply by switching up one or all three of the ingredients. Depending on the gin you are using you will still get a variation in the drink’s character, ideally all elements need to be balanced. E.g. maybe switch out the Campari for Aperol if you are looking for a sweeter version, or using a lighter floral gin. Or amp up the gin impact by doubling it to the other spirit measures (incidentally this is the house pour at Dark Horse cocktail bar in Bath – a little extreme if you do as I did with Sipsmith VJOP!)

Or have your Negroni served in an ice ball, as I did at The Spiritualist in Glasgow:

https://whatskatiedoing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IMG_6939.mp4

(not recommended for any flavour reason – purely for the gimmick!)

 

Recommended Negroni variations from the people that drink gin!

If, like me, you’d rather not #cheatongin, then here are some variations on the Negroni recipe as recommended by my favourite gin bloggers and instagrammers:

White Negroni

Not for those in the #nonegroniwithoutCampari camp. The ‘white’ (it’s more yellow in colour in reality) Negroni uses different ‘bitter’ elements, such as Suze or Cocchi Americano in place of the brightly coloured Campari. Depending on which bitter element you use, it then requires balancing with a white vermouth. You might choose a sweet vermouth with Suze or a drier vermouth with the Cocchi.

From Matt of The Gin Shelf, the Plymouth gin White Negroni alternative.

White Negroni made with Plymouth gin

Plymouth White Negroni

  • 50ml Plymouth Gin
  • 50ml Suze
  • 50ml Dolin Blanc

For a smaller serve, drop measures to 30ml 😎🍸 (Matt does like his negroni’s large! I would normally do 25ml of each of the ingredients)

 

Sloe Negroni

Plymouth 50/50, as named by Matt from The Gin Shelf.

Sloe negroni

Plymouth 50/50 Negroni with sloe gin

For a large or small just adjust the measures, but always equal:

. 25ml or 15ml Plymouth Navy Strength gin
. 25ml or 15ml Plymouth Sloe gin
. 50ml or 30ml Campari
. 50ml or 30ml Antica Formula vermouth

For a slightly deeper cherry flavour, you can swap out Antica Formula for Byrrh 😎🍸

 

Another variation using Sloe gin in place of the vermouth from Inka from On the Sauce Again:

Blood Orange Negroni

Orange goes so well with Campari, that this had to happen! With the launch of several Orange, & even specifically Blood Orange, gins in 2018 this is a natural evolution of the Negroni.

Blood orange season is so short 😔 🍊🍊🍊 . I managed to snag a bag in Sainsbury’s and have been playing around with different blood orange negroni combos – this one ups the orange with @pothecarygin Sicilian Orange gin, with equal parts blood orange juice, sweet vermouth and @campariofficial .

a Negroni is a thing of beauty… no filter needed! . This one is a precursor to Negroni Week from @campariofficial – equal parts @malfygin Arancia, Campari and Cocchi vermouth, garnished with @thegarnisher orange and excellent ice cubes . The blood orange version of @malfygin is perfect for this classic cocktail – a slight sweetness offsets the bitter Campari and works beautifully in the Negroni 🥃😋🍊🍊😍 I love it! 🍊😍 .

Barrel Aged Negroni

Whilst this isn’t one you can make at home easily (unless you have an empty barrel kicking around?), if you spot it when you are out order it immediately! I recently had the Gower Pinwydd barrel aged Negroni at Junipalooza and it was amazing! The wood adds some flavour, but it also rounds the rough corners off. It smooths out the bitterness and helps to combine the flavours of the Negroni. When used with the orange and cranberry Pinwydd, this makes for a very Christmassy negroni.

If you don’t have a barrel kicking around at home (!) then you can pick up a bottle of pre-mixed and aged Negroni quite easily:

Edit: this is an AD under the UK regulations as I was gifted the gin!!! Another contender for my top gins from 2018 is @thegowergincompany – pictured is their Pinwynd in a classic negroni – I first tasted their gin at @junipalooza and have been following them keenly! . Gwyr is based on the Gower peninsula in Wales and aim to harness the flavours of their local environment, including the freshness of the sea, 2 types of fennel and local herbs . Their Pinwynd edition is the first if their seasonal range and includes foraged pine tips from North Gower, orange, cranberries and pink peppercorns – I can attest this is fab in a negroni!! 🥃😋 . #whatskatiedoingblog #topginsof2018 #2018topgin #gin #ginspiration #gincocktails #negroni #pinwynd #gowergin #gowergincompany #junipalooza #welshgin #imbibegram #imbibe #instacocktail #instadrinks #drinkstagram #womenwhodrink #spirits #spiritsblogger #drinkup #booze #feedfeed #wales

Aged Gin Negroni

Just as barrel aging the whole cocktail makes for a smoother drink and a more interesting cocktail, so does using an aged gin. This is more a tilt towards a whisky tasting drink, using an aged Rye gin. A way to make your Negroni more robust for Autumn perhaps?

 

Make Inka from On the Sauce Again’s Aged Rye Gin Negroni:

  • 25ml Koskue aged rye gin
  • 25ml Martini Riserva Speciale Rubino
  • 25ml Campari
  • Serve with a view of Florence for an authentic feel!

The Martini Riserva Rubino is Inka’s favourite vermouth for a Negroni, and once you’ve tasted it you’ll see why! When considering mixing up the gin and/bitter in your Negroni, don’t neglect the vermouth too. You can totally change the taste of this drink by playing with all three elements.

Inka also shared this recipe from one of her favourite gin bars in Glasgow – Gin71 on Renfield Street – the Ode to Glasgow:

  • Makar Mulberry Aged Gin
  • Campari
  • Buckfast Tonic Wine

She says don’t be freaked out by the Buckfast, it all works very well together! In this case it replaces the vermouth in the classic drink.

 

Salted Negroni

As I mentioned before, salt reduces the impact of the bitter elements of a drink. It also enhances citrus flavours, so works really well in this Salted Yuzu Aranami Negroni by Jenny from Hidden Curiosities:

 

Make the Hidden Curiosities Salted Yuzu Negroni:

  • 25ml Aranami Navy Strength
  • 25ml Cocchi Americano Rosa
  • 25ml Campari
  • 15ml Yuzu Liqueur
  • Drop or two of saline solution, or a small pinch of rock salt (or serve with a salted rim)
  • Garnish with lemon peel

Perfect serve…. #ginadaymay today had to be a negroni! . Here is a salted Aranami negroni from the last negroni club – I’m so in love with this bitter gin cocktail that I’m part of a club and it’s totally my preferred serve for a lot of gins (not all gins suit this strong drink. . ❗️top tip – if you find a drink too bitter try adding some salt – it helps to counter effect the bitterness❗️ . It’s also the 100th year celebration of the negroni in 2019, so if that’s not a reason to try one, I don’t know what is?! 😂🥃😍 . #whatskatiedoingblog #negroni #saltednegroni #aranamigin #perfectserve #ginspiration #❤️gin #ginlush #gintasting #gintime #ginstagram #ginforthewin #ginformation #ginoclock #gintastic #whynotgin #imbibegram #imbibe #instacocktail #happyhour #instadrinks #drinkstagram #womenwhodrink #drinkup #feedfeed #n100 #campari #nonegroniwithoutcampari

Negroni di Quattro Amari

Mix up the bitters elements, with the addition of different Italian amaro in this version from Julian Vallis:

  • 40ml Beefeater 24
  • 20ml Antica
  • 10ml Punt e Mes
  • 20ml Campari
  • 10ml Aperol
  • Garnish: fat wedge of pink grapefruit or blood orange

Day 10 of #ginadaymay is ‘Red’. And today I bring a double hitter of Red; a @reddoorgin Negroni! This blew my mind in 2018 and is a must try for any #Negroni fan! For my fuller thoughts check out: https://theginshelf.uk/2018/09/21/red-door-gin/#more-1473 Stunning. “The Red Door Negroni was smoother than normal, with a silky mouth feel. The smokey chocolate tones of the sea buckthorn lend them selves to that classic Negroni bitterness, with the bitter orange flavours complemented by the Campari & vermouth in equal measure. The red fruit hints of rowanberry bring a natural sweetness to the party and all combines to make this a very, very enjoyable drink. I went Antica Formula (my current vermouth of choice) for this bad boy, which worked a treat!” 😎🍸🥃 #ginblog #ginblogger #gin #reddoorgin

Classic Negroni Variations:

Some of the classic variations that use a spirit other than gin are below #cheatingongin

Boulevardier

Instead of gin, Bourbon is used. This leads to a drink that is naturally sweeter, due to the underlying sweetness of the Bourbon itself. This might be a good introduction to the Negroni if you aren’t sure about the bitter aspect.

Boulevardier with Wild Turkey, Campari and Antica Formula

Boulevardier with Wild Turkey, Campari and Antica Formula at Ladies and Gents bar in Camden Town

Tegroni

Replace the gin with tequila to mix things up for Summer.

Mescal Negroni

Using Mescal in place of gin or tequila ups the smokey nature of the drink, balancing the bitter notes from the Campari to make something with a much more complex and interesting flavour. One to be savoured slowly.

Negronski

Replace gin with vodka – but why?!

    The negroni looks so yummy! I have not heard of an “anniversary” of a drink, but what an interesting celebration!

    I love a drink with a little intrigue in its backstory! And, this looks like the perfect combination of sweet and bitter. I definitely could use a salted negroni today!

      I’ve not tried it yet Ian – but Navy strength + gins are made to shine in cocktails, so I imagine the Anno 60 would work well in a negroni!

    i will admit I (gasp) have never tried a negroni – on the other hand i LOVE the idea of matching your hair to the drink!!! I’m a big supporter of fashion matching your food 🙂
