History

A classic Negroni made festive with added Christmas flavours. A great holiday drink!

This cocktail is adapted from a recipe shared on Christmas Day 2021 by Andreas Beil. He explained on the Negroni page, "I would like to share a variety replacing half (or even the full amount) of Campari with Becherovka liqueur. It makes a great sipper for winter times with spicy cloves and cinnamon. To be honest, I came up with it on Christmas eve 2020 when I ran out of Campari and was looking for a bitter replacement. Because of that true story and the gingerbread taste, I suggest calling it a Christmas Negroni. Cheers and Merry Christmas to all discerning drinkers." Sloe gin and falernum were added to amplify fruity festive spice, as Christmas is a time for overindulgence.
