Notes

*Nutrition values are estimates and vary by brand.
PS.  If you don’t have a jigger, 1 oz equals 2 tablespoons.
  • A classic Negroni uses equal parts of each ingredient.
  • For a slightly lighter drink, use a larger ice cube to slow dilution.
  • Adjust the gin style to suit the season — citrus-forward for summer, herbal for winter.

Variations

  • Negroni Sbagliato: Replace gin with prosecco.
  • Boulevardier: Replace gin with bourbon or rye.
  • White Negroni: Use gin, Lillet Blanc, and Suze.
  • Seasonal Negroni: Add citrus peel, herbs, or spice infusions to the vermouth.
