I wanted to share some exciting trends we’ve observed recently in Negroni cocktails. As you might have noticed, mixologists are becoming increasingly creative when it comes to this classic drink’s preparation. One standout trend involves experimenting with various spirits, extending beyond the traditional gin to explore new possibilities. Furthermore, bartenders are now incorporating mezcal and aged rum, adding unique twists to the classic Negroni recipe we know. Moreover, there is a growing interest in using craft and artisanal vermouths alongside bitters to elevate the cocktail’s profile. In addition, these high-quality ingredients greatly enhance the flavor,  thus resulting in a richer, more complex Negroni drinking experience overall.
