A delicious Negroni variation with Amaro Montenegro!
I wanted to get this cocktail out to you before Negroni Week was a distant memory, although it is over for this year, I don’t think it’s too late to share my original Negroni Week offering for this year. What i tried to do with this cocktail is illustrate how important Gin selection is in your Negroni build. Part of the genius of the Negroni is that is utilizes not one but two proprietary ingredients: Gin and Vemrouth. Both of these elements are completely different company to company so when you switch them out in your Negroni you can get some pretty brilliant and wildly different flavors. For this build I went with the Gin from Mulholland Distilling which offers a very cucumber forward Gin, I subbed the vermouth with Amaro Montenegro which provides us with a silky mouthfeel and then add Campari (of course) but also a barspoon of Mr.Black Coffee liqueur. The initial idea here was to pair the very surprisingly good flavor buddies: Cucumber and coffee. Not the flavors you’d normally think together but boy are they delicious! I now that some of you won’t be able to get Mulholland Gin so a very good sub here would be Hendricks Gin due to the very prominent cucumber in it’s flavor profile. So for those of you Negroni lovers who’re craving something different, give this one a try!
