Negroni sbagliato and 4 other Easy Negroni Variations!

[@Sonofamensch]

I like these series, it feels less like a deep dive into the history of a drink and more like watching you work behind the bar and explaining to customers what their options are, helping them to find a drink that suits their tastes, etc.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Well played lads!! Great line up of Negronis!

[@SCP-zp8jz]

Hello Steve.

[@ChemicalMarco]

Negroni is by far one of my favourite cocktail, so easy to drink and yet with a complex flavour. Refreshing and bold! I recently had a variation called "Legroni" which has these ingredients: Wild Cat gin, Lillet Blanc, Campari, sugar syrup, grapefruit bitters & thyme Thanks for always doing a great job!

[@nirvanafan21191]

Something that has become one of my all time favorite cocktails is the Boulavardier. I'm not a fan of gin, but love bourbon and it makes for a delightful, citrusy drink. I just sub campari for aperol, because well, aperol is cheaper, and campari is a little too bitter for my liking, so I just add a dash or two of angostura bitters to give the drink a bit more bite.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Josh love me one too! Already covered on this channel so i decided to go with some good ones that you guys may not have heard of/tried yet. In all honesty I could do a 10 Negroni video easily

[@nirvanafan21191]

Joe Lazarus oooh! Need to pick up some italicus but I got everything else. Sounds delicious

[@BrandonCerelius]

My wife and I did a mini cocktail tour this weekend - For Negroni week, Rye in San Francisco did a pretty interesting take on the Negroni. They essentially made "Negroni ice" meaning, they had a large cube of ice that was comprised of the flavors of a Negroni flavors. It was served as the ice for a more traditional negroni - essentially a negroni within a negroni. It was a really interesting (and delicious) take, and really evolved as the cocktail was drank.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

That sounds very interesting!

[@gregblastfpv3623]

I really like this kind of video where you show multiple variations of the same cocktail because that helps knowing you can still do something with what you have if you're missing some of the usual or more common ingredients. I'm only making cocktails occasionally for friends and me so I don't have much variety of alcohols and other ingredients.

[@johngo3715]

The Amor Y Margo Negroni is my favorite. 2 oz London dry gin 3/4 oz campari 3/4 oz Sweet vermouth Ango bitters

[@MrChewy63]

Love sipping Negroni’s…great relaxing cocktail

[@AnotherDrinkPlease]

I did a slight variation on the Cold Brew Negroni. Instead of a full ounce of Mr. Black, I did 1/2oz of Mr. Black, followed by 1/2oz of a cold brew concentrate I make at home. Really gives it a tad more coffee zing! Great video. Fairly new subscriber, but you’re awesome! Cheers brother!

[@mllm1]

The professional looks good to me, I had my first Negroni today and what a bitter aftertaste. All that rum and bourbon should mellow it out.

[@JonMoralesLA]

Sub out Aperol for the Campari if it’s too bitter and I think you’ll enjoy it.

[@jasonandrews4046]

My fav is the Mezcal Negroni, really dig the smokiness of it. I’d really like to try that cold brew one though, sounds epic.

[@aclabonte]

Only picking on this point because I know you enjoy your pronunciations: the "-gli-" construction in Italian is pronounced more like "lyi" , with the g silent and the L rolled, as in: "s-bal-yee-ato". Great video!!

[@chrisandersen5635]

I just made a variation on the coffee negroni. I can’t find Mr. Jack so I subbed in Caffé Amaro. Really delicious. We’re doing our own virtual cocktail hour tomorrow, and I think that’s what I’m gonna have. Thank you.

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

Negroni is probably my favorite cocktail. I make a variation, using Noilly Prat dry Vermouth. It's a bit fresher or some junk. I also make one I call the Gasteiger, having not found anyone else making it under a different name. Equal parts Gran Classico Bitter, Noilly Prat dry Vermouth, and whatever Gin I have on hand. Big Ice cube, and stir for about thirty seconds or so... Your recipes all intrigue me. I'll have to gather ingredients and experiment!

[@Inebrious]

I've been expecting great Negroni variations this week. You didn't disappoint!!

[@kevinarnold2964]

These look fantastic! Some of the ingredients may be difficult to find where I am but I think the thrill of the hunt makes the drink all that more delicious. Thanks for these!

[@milesnicholson8043]

Nice variations. I like experimenting with alternative bitter aperitifs as well as different gins & vermouths. Select Aperitif Bitter from Venice is an excellent alternative to Campari!

I'm a little late but here is mine 1oz Punt e Mes 3/4oz Campari 1oz Tanqueray Dry Gin Rangpur Orange Twist and/or lemon twist. Very classic but with great orange and lemon flavors coming from the gin and Punt e Mes.

I recently had a wonderful variation of a negroni in a bar here in Istanbul. They replace the campari with a rosehip cordial and added angosturra bitters to somewhat replicate the bitterness. They call it the hip negroni

[@joepickthall7045]

Need to try them all! here is my current 1oz Punt e Mes 1oz Campari 1.5oz Thomas Dakin Gin Orange Twist classic i know! but with the Juniper led gin with the orange and lemon in the background it works perfectly with the Punt e Mes!

[@marquee-moon]

One of my favorites I first learned from The Hawthorne in Boston: The 1794 2 oz Rittenhouse 1 oz Carpano 1 oz Campari 2 dashes mole bitters Garnish with orange peel. Serve up or on a big rock. Of course you can go equal parts instead of doubling up on the rye. I find it tasty either way.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

That’s just a ton of booze why not 1.5oz Rye .75oz everything else, same ratio minus an ounce LOL

[@marquee-moon]

The Educated Barfly Ha, great point. Made a scaled back version last night to nice effect. Also worth saying I enjoy subbing in Gran Classico for Campari in Negroni variations for a little more complexity.

Hey I love the channel and want to share my favorite Negroni variation! So this is a recipe I learned from my friend who is a hotel owner and serves this in his bar: Kracun Mezconi 30ml Mezcal 15ml Campari 15ml Cynar 30ml Punt E Mes Very Smoky yet tasty drink. The Ingredients should not be substituted, you must use Cynar and Punt E Mes. As for the Mezcal, Vida is perfectly acceptable but higher quality mezcals will blend better, the smokier and smoother the mezcal the better the drink. Cheers everyone!

Kinda funny, i just yesterday found out about this 'broken' negroni, and immediately went shopping for prosecco. It is amazing summer cocktail, kinda like if aperol spritz and negroni had a child together. Oh, and I went with orange slice, not orange zest.

[@deer4135]

Hey Leandro, I haven't really seen Carpano Antica around so much in the better alcohol shops (Vienna, Austria based by the way). Could you give us an alternative (martini rosso, punt e mes, cinzano rosso, martini gran lusso) that is readily available. Two side notes... Try Burschik Rosso Vermouth if you can get it over in the USA. It's made just ten minutes away from me. I've been loving Byrrh recently but a bit of a long forgotten ingredient. Any recipes or tips and tricks with it?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

be careful with the Punt e Mes as it is much more bitter than most Vermouths and is really a vermouth amaro blend. Try Cocchi Torino or Dolin you should be able to fin those I'm sure, if not Martini and Rossi it is!

Happy Negroni week!! My favorite would be the Cold Brew Negroni but with actual cold brew. I'll sure be trying some variation by the weekend! I love the channel by the way and I was wondering if you would like to make a drink using Fernet Branca, I'm from Argentina and here it's commonly drink as a highball cocktail with 1.5 to 2 oz with a good spear of ice and topped with coke (if you haven't tried it yet). The thing is I've been trying some combination but they are all awful. Keep the good work!

Great episode as always ! PLEASE do a video on how to make COFE Liquor so we can subbstitute MR.Black with !!!!!

Never been a Negroni fan, but I like the reconstructed one with less of the bitter Campari. In the shownotes you wrote a different volume for the Beefeater. 1,5 oz like in the video is correct? Cheers

[@marquee-moon]

You might consider subbing Gran Classico for the Campari - IMO it’s more sweet than bitter with a more complex profile. I feel like it adds depth.

[@aurum42]

According to PUNCH, St. John Frizell’s reconstructed Negroni calls for 1.25 oz of Beefeater as in the shownotes: punchdrink.com/recipes/st-john-frizells-negroni/

I love your videos but you do know the bar spoon you're using has an end for stirring, right?

[@TAWier]

Just try it out... I promise you that you will agree that it works better that way... the way it was designed to work. Lol

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

I’m not sure what you mean? Are you talking about stirring from the teardrop end? I’m well aware that the teardrop end can be used for stirring but it was designed as a weight on the end of the barspoon to make stirring from the spoon end easier. That’s why it’s known as a weighted bar spoon.

[@TAWier]

Yes, stirring with the teardrop end is much smoother and easier. Maybe I'm wrong about it being designed to be used that way as I never looked it up until now... that's how I was trained by another bartender over 25 years ago and it just seemed easier, more efficient, and more natural.

[@TAWier]

If it wasn't intentionally designed to be used that way then it has to be one of those weird mistakes that results in a better tool for the job.

[@elizabethgeorge168]

If you don't have Mr. Black, what are the specs? Is it 1oz. cold brew and 1oz. vodka...or just the cold brew and the cocktail just doesn't have the same punch? I'll be trying The Professional for sure, but the cold brew might take some tweaking.
