Cocktail Colin says:
The Enzoni cocktail is a delightful spin on the classic Negroni, offering a more playful and fruity take with the addition of fresh grapes that mesh wonderfully with the herbal gin and bitter-sweet Aperol. The touch of lemon juice and sugar syrup brings forward a refreshing acidity that balances the bitterness, making the Enzoni both complex and approachable for those who enjoy a cocktail with a sophisticated edge.
Method
How to make a Enzoni
-
- Start by gently crushing the grapes at the bottom of your shaker to release their juices and flavors
-
- Next, incorporate the remaining ingredients into the shaker with the muddled grapes
-
- Vigorously shake everything together with ice for about 10-15 seconds, or until the shaker feels cold and frosted on the outside
-
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to ensure a smooth drink, directly into a glass filled with ice, ideally a large cube or chunk to slow dilution

FAQ's
What is the origin of the Enzoni cocktail?
The Enzoni is a modern classic cocktail that is believed to have been created in the early 2000s. It was reportedly named after a bartender with the last name Enzoni, who is credited with combining the classic elements of a Negroni with the addition of fresh grapes and a slightly different ingredient ratio, giving it a unique twist.
What makes the Enzoni different from a classic Negroni?
While both the Enzoni and the classic Negroni share some similar ingredients, including gin and a type of bitter (Aperol in the Enzoni compared to Campari in the Negroni), the Enzoni distinguishes itself with the addition of fresh grapes and the substitution of lemon juice and sugar syrup for the sweet vermouth. This results in a cocktail that's somewhat lighter and fruitier than the more traditional Negroni.
Can I use a different type of gin for the Enzoni?
Yes, you can use different types of gin for the Enzoni to suit your taste preferences. While dry gin is specified in the original recipe, trying it with a floral gin or even a more contemporary style gin that features unique botanicals can add an interesting twist to the cocktail. The choice of gin can impact the flavor profile, so feel free to experiment.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Enzoni?
Yes, a non-alcoholic version of the Enzoni can be made by substituting the alcoholic components with their non-alcoholic counterparts. For the gin, you could use a non-alcoholic gin or a botanical brew. Aperol can be replaced with a non-alcoholic aperitif or a bitter syrup. Keep the lemon juice, sugar syrup, and grapes for authenticity in taste. However, the result will be more a mocktail inspired by the Enzoni than an exact replica.
How should I serve the Enzoni cocktail?
The Enzoni should be served cold in a lowball glass. First, muddle the grapes in the shaker before adding the rest of the ingredients with ice. Shake well, then strain into the glass filled with ice. The cocktail is typically garnished with a few fresh grapes or a twist of lemon zest to enhance its appearance and aroma. This serving method highlights the cocktail’s refreshing and balanced profile.
