What DJs did for vinyl records, bartenders have done for the Negroni, this bitter and punchy classic has made a meteoric rise from near extinction to one of the most popular cocktails of modern times. Legend has it that in 1919 Count Camillo Negroni was at Florence’s Café Casoni when he asked his friend and Bartender, Forsco Scarselli, for something stronger than his usual Americano (a cocktail of Campari, Sweet Vermouth and soda water). Scarselli swapped out the soda water for Gin, and the Negroni was born.

TWIST/HACK

Mix and match alcoholic and non-alcoholic ingredients and volumes to vary the ABV of the drink.  The standard Negroni recipe calls for 1/3 of each ingredient. A Negroni has an ABV of around 24% (using a 40% ABV Gin and assuming 10ml of ice dilution).  Our Lowgroni recipe has an ABV of around 13%. You can try using a non-alcoholic Campari substitute, which would reduce the ABV to around 6%.  If you want a little more "punch", you could make the standard Negroni but swap out the full-strength Gin for Twenty (approx. ABV 18%).

CREATE YOUR HOME BAR

WITH A FEW SIMPLE TOOLS YOU”LL BE THE HOST OF THE TOWN

If you love your gadgets then you can go to town, but you absolutely do not have to. You can make great cocktails with not much more than a glass and a chopstick if you choose but a few key tools for your kitchen will help you along the way. Here are the things we have at home for our cocktail adventures:

1 GOOD ICE

The bigger the surface area to volume ratio the less your ice will water down the flavour of your drink. Think bigger is better. There are lots of ice trays and moulds out there that give you all kinds of shapes and sizes. Any old ice will do though to keep it cool!

2 A MIXING GLASS

This could be an heirloom from your great grandmother or any old mixing jug in the kitchen. Something to stir things up in.

3 A MEASURING JIGGER

Know what you are drinking. A 25ml unit of Twenty is half a unit of alcohol. Measuring is great, it puts you in control and it means you can make consistent, great tasting drinks.

4 SQUEEZER

One for every type of citrus fruit or a fork and a strong fist. Get out all that lovely juice and mix up some magic.

5 STRAINERS

You will want to strain out the chunky bits that can get stuck in your teeth. There are lots of great strainers to choose from, but a sieve in your kitchen will do just fine.

6 SIMPLE SYRUP

You can make this with sugar and water and a hob, or you can pick some up at the shops. Either way, we recommend you have some to hand, it is key to a whole load of great drinks.

7 KNIFE & PEELER

Add that bit of flourish and the zing of some citrus zest. Your potato peeler or a good sharp knife will work a treat.

8 BITTERS

We love bitters. There are so many out there to choose from or you can get really creative and make your own. Go for it and experiment to find the ones that you love to mix with Twenty.
