A few weeks ago I was planning out my February content calendar and looking through my my cocktails archive to see where the holes were. I was shocked to see that I’ve actually never shared a Negroni recipe here with you. The horror! Seriously though, the Negroni is my favorite cocktail. I typically stick to vodka sodas because of the hangover + calorie factors, but if I could drink unlimited cocktails, it would be all about the Negroni. It’s the perfect mix of bitter + sweet and just so delicious. It’s not for everyone (a few of my girlfriends hate ’em) but for me, nothing is better.
I had some fresh grapefruit laying around and had the idea to incorporate grapefruit… thinking that the bitter/sweet grapefruit would complement the Campari nicely, and it did!
You’ll Need…
- One oz. Gin
- One oz. Campari
- One oz. Sweet Red Vermouth
- Grapefruit
- Big Ice Cube (I love this mold.)
- Hand Held Juicer (I use mine a shocking amount!)
Pour one oz. gin, campari, and vermouth over your ice cube.
Cut up your grapefruit and add one eighth of the grapefruit to the juicer. Squeeze over the cocktail.
Stir, and serve with a nice big piece of grapefruit rind.
Love these recipe posts – definitely something a little different and very fun! I’ve honestly never heard of a negroni, so I’ll have to try it out!
That Twenty Something
Oh my gosh you have to give it a try!!! It’s one of my all time favorite cocktails 🙂
I die for a negroni. I lived on them during study abroad in Florence, I think it’s the signature drink of Florence?? Thanks for the inspo with the grapefruit, can’t wait to try!
I’ve never had a Negroni but I feel like I would really enjoy it because I typically like all of these ingredients! Looks delicious, I’ll have to try making one soon!
