How to make it
- Combine the gin, vermouth and Aperol in a tumbler along with a small handful of ice.
- Stir until the outside of the glass feels cold.
- Garnish with a grapefruit or lemon wedge and an optional basil leaf.
Tip: Stir with plenty of cold, hard ice for 20 to 30 seconds. You want it chilled and silky, not cloudy.
About the Pink Negroni
Aperol is just 11% ABV, around half the strength of Campari, which is why this version drinks lighter as well as sweeter.
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 Sweet Vermouth? Use Punt e Mes (Noticeably more bitter)
- No Aperol? Use Campari (More bitter, so use a bit less)
