Might as well finish this tonight..
Making this right now!! We've had the frozen version never on the rocks
So how did you like it?
I have to admit, it wasn't my favorite. My wife thinks we need to step our choice of vermouth. We have noticed the choice of booze can make or break a cocktail.
So far we are steadfast on Plymouth Gin, Chopin Potato Vodka and Herradura Tequila
The Negroni is probably somewhat of an acquired taste. I personally prefer mine with a bit less Campari, or swapping in a less bitter amaro like Aperol or Nonino. Campari has quite the bite. I also prefer Dolin or Carpano Antica vermouth, so you might try one of those. The standard recipe is a 1:1:1 mix but play around with the ratios and you might find something you prefer more.

Yes, the Negroni is on the bitter side. I think I'm used to more bitter tastes in my alcoholic drinks, since I also prefer more tannic wines. I'm sure you can sweeten it up just a tad with a little orange liqueur (triple sec, blue curacao, grand marnier, or the like).
old fashioned's are probably my favorite cocktail. Now I want one.
I think I might up the gin.

My Negroni recipe is 1.5 oz Tanqueray, 1 oz Campari and one oz Carpano Antiqua. If you want it a little drier, you can swap the Carpano out for 1 oz of Punt y Mes.
Yeah - I think I go with 1.5oz gin (Beefeater usually), 1oz vermouth, and .75-1oz Campari.
I think anyway...been awhile since I've made a Negroni

If you like a Negroni, try a Boulevardier (pronounced boolavardeeay).
1.5 oz Maker's Mark
0.75 oz Carpano Antiqua
0.75 oz Campari
Garnish with an orange twist.
