Correction: Tom Cat with Bruto. I suspected this would be my favorite. Glad I screwed it up because it overcame my bias.
So, I should take the vermouth out when the fridge is closed?AND MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR VERMOUTH IN THE FRIDGE ONCE IT'S OPEN

If I'm using dry gins, I use Antica. I've been on a kick recently using Plymouth Navy Strength and imo Cocchi works better with the overproof gin.
Cant really go wrong with either. Both kinda pricey though to keep both fresh.

Setting up a Negroni taste test for tomorrow.
Negroni testing round 2:
Tom Cat Aperol: better than expected. Sweet but balanced. Fruity.
London Dry Cynar: The most true negroni. Balanced. The right combination
Barr Hill Aperol: the sweetness was dialed back from the Tom Cat just enough. If you want a sweeter Negroni that’s not cloying this is it.
Barr Hill Cynar: slight more sweet and complex than a base Negroni.
Barr Hill Bruto: Bruto overpowers a bit so herbal but tasty. (Not pictured)
Overall: Tom Cat with Bruto was the favorite. Rich and bitter but balanced. It’s not the most traditional but I love a boulevardier and it skews towards that. #2 London Dry with Cynar. Classic and balanced with nuance. #3 Bar Hill and Cynar. Skews sweeter but not overpowering.

Lillet blanc and Salers was my preferred combo for a white Negroni. In addition to not liking the taste as much, Suze gives the drink a pale urine color.

But I don't have allergies.
So, can I up the Malört to an ounce? I embrace bitter.
All I got out of that is the Cynar Negroni is up there!

Y'all can have my Suze bottle. Sorry, Stabby

Cocchi Torino is absolutely my go-to in negronis. I think Carpano is too sweet/bold personally. I want my negronis to be bitter, Mrs. FUCK would actually prefer Punt e Mes as the vermouth, but that isn't for everyone.
I save my Carpano for whiskey cocktails mostly.
I don't think I will ever go back to Dolin or M&R or Noilly Prat for sweet vermouth. I still Dolin for dry vermouth though.

Interested to hear why Campari was not one of the bitter options.

Not to sound like some traditionalist or anything.

Wait, there are people out there who do two parts gin to one part of Chartreuse, Maraschino and lime?
I think that the equal parts version is downright sublime.
What else are you doing with that Green Chartreuse?
Cynar Negroni
I do enjoy Cynar with Barr Hill but I realize that you lose a little of the bitterness there.
Honestly I will never turn down any Negroni. They are the best.
I want this jacket.

Ehhh some dude on the internet claims his great grandfather or something worked at Detroit Athletic Club during the origin of the drink and claimed it was 2/1/1/1 with gin being doubled to the other parts. I think I've only ever made it equal. Honestly it's been so long since I've had a bottle of Green Chartreuse I'm going to explore.
I also couldn't find my coupe glasses... so I guess this sub works.
Yep. Still fucking rips. Started heavy with 1oz parts but had to sip the glass before moving to not spill it lol.

I don’t have Campari on hand and didn’t feel like buying a bottle since I have a pretty good idea of where it would fall on the bitterness scale. I’ve used Campari with all the gins and it would be just as good with the Tom Cat. But for a regular gin, I’m enjoying Cynar more.

Might have to get the Negroni ornament for the tree I don't have haha
I got a tote and that vermouth sticker not long ago. Their stuff is so fun.
can I offer you a mezcal negroni then?
A real Negroni! Not that nonsense.
What are you doing in this thread? Are you lost?
my very uncool, unhip, suburban friend was looking for cocktail recipes so i stopped by.
