"By definition, this certainly isn't a Negroni, but I looked to that and the Americano cocktail as godfathers in the building of flavor. By using cold-brew coffee and tonic I was able to find some of the complexity you get with sweet vermouth with flavors of vanilla, burnt sugar, and dried citrus peels," says Watershed Kitchen + Bar beverage director Josh Gandee. "Those flavors paired with an aperitif syrup and the acidity from fresh lime juice back up the coffee and tonic as replacements for gin and Campari. Topping with soda makes it an extra light variation on the classics if you want the basics without the booze."
