Cocktail Colin says:
The MonteNegroni offers a tantalizing remix of the beloved classic by incorporating amaro, which introduces an intriguing complexity through its herbal underpinnings, resulting in a sophisticated and partially bitter profile that complements the sweetness of red vermouth and the crisp botanicals of dry gin elegantly. This cocktail satiates the palate of modern drinkers by providing a layered experience, balancing between the traditional strong notes of a Negroni and the nuanced, moodier whispers brought on by the amaro, making it a commendable choice for those seeking depth in their drink.

FAQ's
What is the origin of the MonteNegroni cocktail?
The MonteNegroni cocktail is a variation of the classic Negroni, which originated in Florence, Italy in the early 20th century. The traditional Negroni is made with gin, vermouth rosso, and Campari. The MonteNegroni offers a twist on this classic by incorporating Amaro, adding a unique bitterness and herbal note.
How should the MonteNegroni be served?
The MonteNegroni should be served in a cocktail glass, ideally chilled to keep the drink cold but not diluted. It is typically served without shaking or stirring after it’s been mixed, to preserve the clarity and layered flavors of the ingredients. Garnishing with an orange peel can add a complementary aroma.
Can the MonteNegroni be made non-alcoholic?
Yes, a non-alcoholic version of the MonteNegroni can be made by substituting the alcoholic components with non-alcoholic alternatives. Non-alcoholic spirits designed to mimic gin, and non-alcoholic vermouths are available and can be used alongside a non-alcoholic bitter aperitif to replicate the amaro. However, the taste profile may vary from the original alcoholic version.
What food pairs well with the MonteNegroni?
The MonteNegroni, with its bitter, herbaceous, and slightly sweet flavor profile, pairs well with rich, savory dishes. Charcuterie boards, matured cheeses, olives, and nuts complement its complexity. For a fuller meal, it can also complement rich pasta dishes, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables.
How does the alcohol content of the MonteNegroni compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 27.65%, the MonteNegroni falls into the higher range of alcohol by volume (ABV) for cocktails, which typically range from 10% to 30% ABV. This makes it a strong drink, on par with or slightly higher in strength compared to other classic cocktails like the traditional Negroni or Martini.
