Campari Negroni
About
The Campari Negroni is one of the most iconic cocktails in the world—and for good reason. Made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, it delivers a bold, bittersweet flavor profile that’s both refreshing and complex. This isn’t a drink that hides behind mixers or sugar. It leads with confidence, built entirely on well-chosen spirits.
Originally created in Italy in the early 1900s, the Campari Negroni has become a go-to for those who appreciate balance, bitterness, and timeless style in their glass. Whether you’re winding down after work or setting the tone for an evening out, this cocktail does the job—with elegance, edge, and zero effort to impress.
Shaken or Stirred? Always stirred. The Campari Negroni is all about clarity and control. Stirring preserves texture, maintains balance, and keeps the drink crisp without diluting its bold personality.
