Negroni Sour Recipe
Description
The Negroni Sour combines equal parts gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to create a cocktail that blends the traditional bitter profile of a Negroni with a sour citrus twist. A cocktail foamer is added to generate a frothy texture when shaken with ice. The mixture is vigorously shaken for 30 seconds to create a dense foam, which sits atop the drink once strained into a coupe glass. Garnishing with an orange peel enhances the aroma and adds a subtle citrus note.
Preparation involves shaking the ingredients in a cocktail shaker or mason jar filled halfway with ice, ensuring thorough chilling and combining. The resulting cocktail is visually appealing with its foam and balanced in flavor by combining bitterness from Campari and vermouth with the brightness from lemon juice.
This drink is best served immediately as the foam will dissipate over time. It serves as a refreshing alternative to the classic Negroni, suitable for cocktail enthusiasts looking for a citrus-forward variation.
