Negroni Week 2025 – One Red Thread
I just got a hunch that fig might work well paired with the classic Negroni flavours. So, I just had a go at it. I guess it turned out pretty well.

Since I discovered that Negroni Week 2025 has just started and my calendar was wrong. Luckily, I had a basic Negroni recipe in the backlog. Apart from that, it gives me the chance to reminisce a bit about Negroni variations.
Basically, I built this Negroni variation around the glass from Lobmeyr which just seemed perfect for a straight up serve. I chose the name of a random song which came up when I typed “grapefruit” into Apple Music. Yet, it seem perfect, because by know every iteration of the original just seems like a big […]
Yes, this is another Negroni variation and not necessarily one suited for summer. However, the split base of overproof cognac and overproof calvados was too intriguing to not try it. Obviously, I had to pair those powerful spirits with other strong ingredients.
It took a while to find a reason to us up a whole bottle of prosecco for some sparkling wine drinks. This is why, the bergamot eau de vie from the Naturbrennerei Engel is the last citrus eau de vie of this little series I am presenting to you.
I based the drink on the modern classic Negroni Bianco / White Negroni. Yet, I went for Reposado tequila as the base spirit. My changes did not stop there, but I also used a rather nerdy liqueur as well as a split wine base of port and Cocchi Americano.
The Eeyore’s Requiem by Toby Maloney really is a cocktail for expert level Negroni drinkers. Since I cannot get enough of bitter cocktails, I had to try it in my Remixed! series.
At the beginning of February, Joerg Meyer wrote about the Mango Negroni on his 7cl Business blog. Since, I was planning a tropical party anyway, I thought I give it a go.
For this recipe, I started with a Gin & It variation. Yet, I added a bit of Italian red bitter to the recipe and this basically took the drink in another direction entirely. So, I just embraced the Negroni (Cardinale) spirit.
This post falls under the “Remixed!” category, because the recipe comes from Dennis Stein of Le Lion, Hamburg. They are selling a barrel aged version of it during Negroni Week. So, if you are in Hamburg check it out.
