Celebrating Negroni Week with Expert Tips

By: Kristyna Vogel

In honor of Negroni Week (September 16-22), our resident cocktail aficionado, Angus Porter, shares his top 5 tips for crafting the perfect Negroni:

  • Formulaic Approach: Experiment with the classic 1:1:1 ratio. Angus prefers 1.5oz gin, 0.75oz sweet vermouth, and 0.75oz Campari for a bolder gin flavor.
  • Vermouth Matters: A high-end vermouth can elevate your Negroni. Angus recommends Antica Formula or Punt e Mes for a richer experience.
  • Dilution Counts: Pre-dilute before serving! Stir in a mixing glass before pouring into your rocks glass for optimal consistency.
  • King for a Day: Use one large king cube to keep your Negroni chilled without over-dilution.
  • Twist on the Twist: Finish with an orange twist. Pinch the zest over the drink or flame it for a charred, fragrant touch.

Don’t take our word for it, join us in ARC and try Angus’s twist on the negroni ‘The Tempest’.

 

Negroni Week is a global celebration of the iconic cocktail, where bars and restaurants come together to raise money for charitable causes, including Slow Food, an organization dedicated to promoting sustainable food systems.
