Negroni
A Negroni is one of those cocktails that doesn’t need dressing up — just the right balance. Bitter, sweet, and citrus-led, with the gin doing the heavy lifting underneath.
Our Eko Gin works especially well here because the botanical blend is deliberately tight and balanced (so it doesn’t fight the Campari), and the spirit is built on the distillery’s own sugar beet base for a smoother mouthfeel.
Ingredients
-
25ml Eko Signature Dry Gin

Orange peel (to garnish)
Method
-
Fill a rocks glass with lots of ice.

Add the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth.
-
Stir for 15–20 seconds until properly cold and diluted.
-
Express an orange peel over the glass (squeeze the oils), rim the glass, then drop it in.
Quick tips
-
Stir, don’t shake. You want it crystal clear and silky.
-
If it’s tasting too bitter, use a slightly richer sweet vermouth (it rounds it out).
-
Prefer it lighter? Add a small splash of soda and call it a Negroni Sbagliato-ish serve.
If you want, I can also match the exact tone/format of your Espresso Martini post even tighter (same sentence rhythm + length), and give you a second “variation” section (White Negroni / Boulevardier) to match your Mixology category style.
