Not every Negroni needs to be ruby-red and citrus-bright. The Negroni Scuro replaces Campari with DISPENSE, our modern British amaro, pushing the drink into darker, more herbal territory. Part of our Negroni Week Special collection: three variations that prove the Negroni template is endlessly adaptable.
Ingredients
- 30 ml DISPENSE Modern British Amaro
- 30 ml London dry gin
- 30 ml sweet vermouth
- Orange twist (garnish)
Method
Step 1: Stir
Add the DISPENSE, gin and sweet vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir steadily for about 30 seconds until well-chilled and properly diluted.
Step 2: Strain
Strain into a chilled rocks glass over a single large ice cube.
Step 3: Garnish and serve
Express an orange twist over the surface to release the oils, then drop it in. The aroma should hit before the first sip.
Tasting Notes
Deep and brooding where a classic Negroni is bright. DISPENSE brings dark chocolate and gentian root bitterness, layered over the juniper backbone of the gin.
