The Tart, Trendy Juice You Need For Perfectly Balanced Negronis
By SYLVIA TOMCZAK
Whether you believe classic cocktails never go out of style or that variety is the spice of life, you’re sure to be impressed by this modern twist on the famous Negroni. Thanks to a dash of some fruity yet tart juice, this updated Negroni is perfectly balanced and sure to impress any cocktail lover.
A traditional Negroni relies on only gin, Campari, and vermouth to create a complex drink balancing an herbaceous flavor with bitterness and sweetness. While there’s no dearth of Negroni variations, one version in particular stands above the rest for its incorporation of cherry juice.
Thanks to Campari, Negroni cocktails already feature faint notes of cherry, and the addition of cherry juice only builds on this subtlety. Tart, unsweetened cherry juice deepens the fruitiness of the cocktail while delicately highlighting the drink’s sweet and sour flavors without being overpowering or cloying.
