The result of our Cold Brew Negroni recipe is a wonderfully caffeinated take on the classic, bittersweet aperitif. The flavors mesh perfectly with sweet vermouth and walnut bitters for a complex flavor profile.

This is a great warm-weather cocktail when you need a little pick-me-up. And, for folks who enjoy cold drinks in all kinds of weather, it is a year-round treat. And, of course, you can always infuse your Campari with decaf if you prefer.

And, as for the gin, it is worth using the good stuff in this cocktail as the flavor definitely comes through.
