The best type of gin to buy and the one negroni ingredient you should splurge on.
There are a few keys to getting it right.The world of gin is wide, with varying botanicals and spices, but the traditional type of gin used in a Negroni is London dry, known for its piney flavour profile.“Because the other ingredients, especially the Campari, are bombastic, I think you need the heavy juniper presence to make that gin stand up,” said Sean Umstead, co-owner ofin Durham, NC. “So for me it’s Beefeater or Tanqueray that just really shines in the Negroni.
Of course, it’s all a matter of preference. Scheid, for example, prefers to use American gins. “I find that they tend to be a little bit more adventurous in the botanicals. And whenever possible, I like using local stuff, both in my home bar and behind the bar where I work,” he says. For the Philly-based cocktail pro, that’s Bluecoat Gin – but wherever you’re located, a local gin is going to give the cocktail a sense of place.This one is inflexible — it’s not a Negroni without Campari.
“It’s the bright grapefruit, orangey, bitter component that gives the drink that ... quenches-your-thirst kind of thing,” Umstead says. While Campari is generally thought of as an aperitif, Umstead believes it can be enjoyed any time —it’s bitter and sweet, and it’s boozier than other aperitifs.The bold red color of Campari is unmistakable in a Negroni.’s aperitivo.
