Coffee Negroni

A bolder, richer take on a buzzy Negroni riff.

For a bolder take on the Coffee Negroni, Kevin Coe of The Durham Hotel in Durham, North Carolina, infuses Campari with coffee to introduce a bit of complexity and to gain “greater control over the flavor.” A dash of coffee syrup rounds out the sweetness and toasty character of the cocktail. “The Coffee Negroni has been around for some time, but my goal was to create a cleaner version that looks like a traditional Negroni while tasting completely different,” he says.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. gin
  • 1 oz. coffee bean-infused Campari
  • 1 oz. Carpano Antica sweet vermouth
  • dash of coffee syrup
  • Tools:mixing glass, barspoon, strainer
  • Glass:Nick & Nora
  • Garnish:orange peel

Preparation

Add all of the ingredients to a mixing glass with ice. Stir to combine and strain into the glass. Garnish.
