Autumn Negroni

A gin-led, stirred Negroni variation that splits its bitterness between Campari, Cynar and Fernet.

Go to the recipe ↓

This Autumn Negroni keeps the Negroni's gin, sweet vermouth and Campari but abandons equal measures. Gin takes the largest pour, Campari drops to a small share, and Cynar, Fernet and a small measure each of orange and Peychaud's bitters fill out the bitter side. Beyond the usual Negroni bottles, you will need Cynar, Fernet and both bitters.

Method as published

  1. Fill a mixing glass with ice.
  2. Add the gin, Cynar, sweet vermouth, Fernet, Campari, orange bitters and Peychaud's Bitters.
  3. Stir firmly until the outside of the mixing glass is cold.
  4. Strain onto a single large ice cube in a rocks glass.

Garnish Twist a wide strip of orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass.

  • The two bitters are listed as approximately 1 ml each; the same page elsewhere calls this a dash of each.
  • Fernet is listed generically, without a named brand.
  • The source also suggests its own branded Negroni Campari glass; a rocks glass is the stated vessel in the method.
