The Gentleman’s Fieldguide to The Negroni

The Negroni, a timeless Italian cocktail, has charmed drinkers since its creation in 1919 and has enjoyed a recent resurgence in popularity. It’s a bold, bittersweet blend of equal parts Gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth.

This simple yet sophisticated cocktail is celebrated for its vibrant ruby-red color and complex flavor profile. Campari adds a bitter citrus kick and the vermouth contributes a smooth, herbal sweetness. But Gin is the real star of the trio. We like ours made with 1834 Premium Distilled Gin. Its unique “Sampaguita” floral finish and citrus notes from calamansi truly take this classic a few notches higher. Served over ice with an orange peel garnish, the Negroni is both refreshing and robust.

Its enduring popularity lies in its versatility and balance. While modern variations abound, the original recipe remains a staple in bars worldwide. The Negroni is more than a drink—it’s a symbol of elegance, tradition, and the art of savoring life’s simple pleasures. Discover Excellence, Cheers!
