Blood Orange Negroni Recipe

Posted by

This recipe is based on the traditional Negroni ratio, with the kit components used for aromatic infusion and specialized garnishing.

Component	Ingredient	Amount
Spirit	London Dry Gin	30 ml (1 oz)
Bitter Aperitif	Campari	30 ml (1 oz)
Sweet Vermouth	Sweet Vermouth	30 ml (1 oz)
Infusion	Juniper Berries	3-4 berries
Infusion	Orange Peel	A small strip
Sweetener	Light Muscovado Sugar	1/2 tsp (optional, to taste)
Garnish	Blood Orange & Mint Salts	For the glass rim
Garnish	Dried Orange/Blood Orange Slices	1 slice

Note: Unlike a Cosmopolitan, a Negroni is typically stirred, not shaken, to achieve a silky texture.¹

Prepare the Rim (Optional): Pour a small amount of blood orange & mint salts onto a small plate. Run an orange wedge around the outside of your rocks glass or coupe glass rim. Gently press the outer edge of the rim into the salts to create an aromatic edge.
Infuse & Stir: Add the gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, juniper berries, orange peel, and optional muscovado sugar into the Garnish Club shaker jar. The sugar is optional as Negronis are typically bitter, but it can balance the infusion and blood orange flavour.
Chill and Dilute: Add a large amount of ice to the jar. Stir the mixture gently but consistently for about 20–30 seconds. Stirring chills the drink and provides the perfect amount of dilution.
Serve: Add a large, clear ice cube (or fresh ice) to your prepared glass. Strain the Negroni mixture over the ice.
Garnish: Garnish with one of the dried orange or dried blood orange slices from the kit.
