As you are already aware, this week is an homage to the Negroni, that brilliant, ruby-hued Italian cocktail that so captures the effortless class of La Dolce Vita-style 1960s Rome. Usually, it’s an equal mix of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, garnished with an orange peel. Served in an old-fashioned cut-glass tumbler, it’s simple, sophisticated, and head-turning.
We have a few spots in our Negroni Week line-up with interesting Negroni takes. Jettison the swanky bar with a speakeasy vibe in Sylvan Thirty is batching a Negroni, matured for two weeks and featuring Bol’s Genever gin, Dolin rouge vermouth, a mix of Campari and Galliano L’Aperitivo and orange bitters. And their Southern Negroni pairs Fidencio Classico mezcal, Campari, Lillet Blanc and lemon peel. The latter is an obvious twist.
