We have gin, martini, and Campari, but our Negroni does not taste good.

I found a cocktail that might be a good alternative for you. It's a twist on the classic Negroni and it's known as the Martinez. It includes gin, red vermouth, maraschino cherry liqueur, and orange bitters. This cocktail has a high rating and might be a great option to try with the ingredients you have on hand.
