For the current Negroni Week 2022, we asked our spirit producers for their favorite recipes of this cocktail classic. apros Vermouth crafts red, white, and rosé vermouth with passion. The distillery from the Black Forest combines wine aromas from the Kaiserstuhl region with Mediterranean fruit. Every vermouth is based on a Pinot Gris. Founders Achim, Johannes, and Matthias agree that a vermouth belongs in every home bar. The trio has some exciting Negroni recipes for the King of Cocktails. Achim also enjoys a "fake" Negroni!
Why are you a Negroni fan and on what occasions do you like to drink this cocktail classic most?
For me, the Negroni is one of the best aperitivo drinks, bar none! The symbiosis of bitter and sweet is unique in this cocktail. I prefer to drink a Negroni when I'm out at bars in the city with friends in the evening.
What is your classic Negroni recipe and why does apros Red Vermouth go so well with it?
The classic recipe calls for 3 cl gin, 3 cl Campari, and 3 cl red vermouth. Our Red Vermouth adds a very special touch to the cocktail with its delicate aromas of bergamot and lavender.
What is your personal Negroni twist and why does it provide a special taste experience?
I also really enjoy drinking a Negroni Sbagliato. Translated, that means: The mistaken Negroni. Here, the gin is replaced with a dry sparkling wine or Prosecco, making it a bit less strong and delightfully fizzy!
