Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Add the gin, Campari, sweet vermouth and grapefruit juice to a rocks glass with ice.
  2. Stir until well chilled.
  3. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.

Tip: Stir with plenty of cold, hard ice for 20 to 30 seconds. You want it chilled and silky, not cloudy.

About the Grapefruit Negroni

Grapefruit was first described in Barbados in 1750 as the 'forbidden fruit'. It's an accidental cross between pomelo and sweet orange.

Missing something?

  • No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
  • No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
  • No Campari? Use Aperol (Lighter, sweeter and less bitter)
  • No Sweet Vermouth? Use Punt e Mes (Noticeably more bitter)
  • No Grapefruit Juice? Use Grapefruit (Squeeze fresh: 1 grapefruit gives about 150 ml)
