A tale of 2 Negronis - How to make the Negroni cocktail | BAR TALK & COCKTAILS

- The Negroni. Probably one of the most famous classic cocktails has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years and is often debated as to where it came from. There is a lot of history on this so I delved pretty deep in research and came to the conclusion that I'm now more confused then ever.

The best mixology channel in the whole galaxy! And the best treatise on the Negroni ever (the world deserve a book from you). Thanks a lot Bruce!!
It’s in the works! Not enough hours in the day.
I'd buy a book you wrote with the ink still wet, Bruce!
You the man!
Not only drink but also knowledge and details.
Thanks for noticing! The crew and I work really hard on these episodes and have a blast while we’re at it. Thanks for watching, cheers!
love the story telling, makes the drink even more interesting. Awesome job
Thank you so much.
I absolutely love your videos Bruce.
What a history! I agree no matter the truth I love the story telling. I could listen to you all day. Still afraid to try it.
Lol it’s a potent one. Give it a try anyway 😝
Love how much tell about the drinks best bar on youtube!
Thanks Steve buddy!
Ahhh! My favourite cocktail when I'm out. Thanks, as ever, for the history. I love your channel.
Thanks for watching. Keep checking back.
I just made one of these and I was amazed. It’s one of the greatest cocktails I’ve ever had, and I was deathly afraid I’d hate it. It’s the textbook definition of balanced, honestly - the ingredients go so well together. Only problem is I love it too much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm making this for the first time for me and my parents tomorrow - I have a feeling it's gonna be delicious! 🥰
Hope you folks enjoyed. Negronis aren’t for everyone but I enjoy them.
Newest subscriber. Enjoy watching your take on making cocktails and the fun you have making them. Cheers!
Hey thanks so much for subscribing! Enjoy!
Absolutely amazing video!! You got a subscriber from Sweden
Tack! 😁 thanks for watching and subscribing! Cheers
This is a drink that requires one’s respect & appreciation to enjoy. Not a chugger but a sipper of the taste & mind !
It’s not for everyone but I do enjoy them on occasion. My go-to is still the Manhattan. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Such a lovely video! THAAANKYOUUUUU
Thanks for tuning in!
You are great! Just one tiny error. The version with the prosecco is call Sbagliato that in italian means "wrong"
I guess you could say my Italian is Sbagliato. Thanks for the correction. Now I know. Cheers!
This is such an interesting channel, do enjoy your videos
Thanks Harry. New episode releasing soon so check back.
Hello from Dublin, your channel is brilliant some great classics, can you do the Harvey wallpaper cheers graham
Hi Graham thanks so much! Cheers to Ireland! Just so happens we’ve done a Harvey Wallbanger!
th-cam.com/video/JYRv1a4TgFc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xwm1Z-Xys6ujbJIv
Unless you meant a Harvey Wallpaper, and in that case I will definitely need to try one of those! Cheers!!
Some of your tales and videos are great. Appreciated. Could you make a video on the Americano? Many thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great episode bruce i love the history behind some of these classic cocktails.
Thanks for watching and writing in, this one took me awhile to research, so much to learn it’s amazing. Cheers!
Appreciate the history and knowledge. Cheers !!!!!
Thanks Frank. Cheers!
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
I love yours videos!!!!geatings from Argentina!!!
Thanks Luis! Cheers to Argentina.
Great spirit of the show great recipes
Thanks I try!
Negroni...next to the humble Gin & Tonic is my go-to cocktail
Can’t go wrong. I’m a Manhattan guy myself.
non sono tanto convinto sulla spremuta d'arancia nel finale... ma ci sta come variante. Da provare
As someone else in a video showed, take the 3 ingredients, add them together and keep them overnight in the fridge in a container. It will completely change the flavor profile of the drink when you have it the next day.
Interesting.. I’ll have to give that a go.
Man I've been seeing a lot of your videos and I loves every ounce of history you throw in there. It does add a lot to the drink also the vintage classic drink 🍸 made way before our time is mind blowing makes you feel like Al Capron is living next door. Plus making a small collection of what I notices you used a lot. I got calvados, Galliano (sorry of I butcher the name) and soon thr gringer liquor. Since I got everything else already. I swear I never went back to seeking other cocktail channel this oneks truly the best 👌.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. Cheers
@@BarTalkCocktails same to you Bruce cheers 🍻
A great fan of your sir, i am currently pursuing bartending course from India, I am honest i want to become a bartender like you sir, you are awesome, hope to meet you sir
Thank you for the kind words. Best of luck to you. Cheers!
I love this guy.
Awe shucks ...
I love Manhattans (Bourbon + Vermouth) I will give this a try!!! 🥃💁🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️👩🏻
Hope you like it. Cheers!
That sure is a beautiful looking drink!!!
Give it a try 😉
Negroni, one of my fav cocktails 😍
It’s definitely a classic!
My first Negronis is a success.
I also love the Negroni Sbagliato, where Prosecco wine replaces the Gin. Both are great pre-dinner cocktails. My preference goes for Tanqueray as the gin and Punt e Mes as the vermouth.
Sounds delightful!
Another fantastic video Bruce, though I'm going to be honest I have tried 10 different types of Campari cocktails and I cannot seem to find one that I enjoy. Campari I want to make a staple of my home bar and I want to be able to make a drink with it, do you know of any other drinks that use Campari that aren't as bold in terms of the flavor of Campari yet aren't smothered by other Liquors or Mixers? As always Bruce cheers and hope to become loyal boozehound come November!
Try the Jungle Bird or the El Imigrante. The easiest way to drink Campari is a Campari Testarossa (0,75oz. Vodka, 1,5oz. Campari, filled up with Tonic, Water).
@SpontImagoSoul you can try aperol as a stepping stone. Made by the same company and is sweeter.
Hey Neal! As Stephane Foisy suggested, Aperol could be a good stepping stone for you. It's not as bold or as strong as Campari. With its brilliant red/orange colour, it's intense with a tangerine zest aroma and herbal spicy notes. Smooth sweet tangerine is the taste along with a bitter herbal edge to balance. There are a lot of Campari recipes out there but, it doesn't mean you have to follow them to the letter. You could initially try a Negroni with less Campari or Aperol and build yourself up to the original recipe once you grow accustomed to its flavour. Campari is definitely an acquired taste. You'll eventually grow to enjoy it as much as I do.
SpontImagoSoul Try adding a pinch of salt and having it on ice. The salt will curb the bitterness and make the orange essence more prevalent.
Superb 🙏🙏 Sir Namaste
Thanks for tuning in, cheers!
Bartender bruce i love the videos. will you ever do an old fashioned?
You bet I will. What’s a drinking channel without an old fashioned?! It is on my to do list. There’s quite a lot of research to go through so it’ll be sometime in the new year. Currently we’re in production for our Halloween episodes then Christmas. Thanks for watching cheers!
Great vid as usual. Going out to buy some campari, don't ask why!
Thanks for watching!
Campari is very bitter straight but when it's diluted in soda, gin etc. it opens up and you can taste the sugar in it, along with the bitter elements. Along with the vermouth, there's plenty of sweetness.
I’m not a huge fan of Campari. Back in the 80’s the big thing was Campari with soda.
I wonder if Orson Welles version had bitters too or if he was just talking about the campari?
I'm sure Orson Welles meant the bitters from the Campari however, some additional bitters might take the Negroni to a new level. I'm a little bias though. I love bitters in way too many cocktails I drink. Ha!
Which bitters do you prefer for most drinks? How do you feel about bitters in John Collins or Whiskey Sour
I love bitters. Angostura and Orange are among my favourites but, there are way too many in my collection to have to choose. It's a hard decision to make and sometimes it depends on the mood I'm in. As far as adding bitters to a John Collins or a Whiskey Sour, I think it would make a great addition to either of these classics.
Another excellent video, Bruce. What is your favorite cocktail of all ?
My go-to drink is the Manhattan made with Forty Creek Canadian Whisky, Martini Rosso Sweet Vermouth and a combination of Angostura and Orange bitters. Although it's often a mood thing for me, I tend to sway toward spirit-driven cocktails after a long shift working bar. I'm actually having a Manhattan right now as I write to you at 3am. Cheers!
When making the similar boulevardier I have switched to 1/2 spirit and 1/4 each Campari and vermouth. Would this work with a Negroni.
Love the rocks glass! Where can I get them??
Bigger fan of boulevardier
For me, there's only one gin: Bombay Sapphire. Also, the Vermouth I use is Antica Formula dal 1786 Vermouth (or good old Noilly Prat, when I run out of the Antica Formula).
Both are delightful!
I drink whisky or rum, mainly neat, or sometimes with some water. I am not a fan of using ice in my drinks (takes up space that could be filled by booze). Do cocktails have to have ice?
Ice does two things to your cocktail. It cools it down and dilutes it to provide balance to the cocktail. And, dilution can be a good thing. Often, a little bit of water will actually open up some spirits, by accentuating some aromas and perhaps masking others. When it comes to ice, there are many variables - shape, size, and quantity. Is the ice hard or wet? Ice should never be an afterthought. It honestly deserves just as much attention as the spirits, bitters, fresh juices, or whatever else you’re putting into the drink. Whether your drink is served on the rocks or straight up, ice is an essential component of the cocktail experience. Cheers!
So my Gin might be to mild 🤔 as my came out to sweet, yet I loved the aftertaste
Glad you gave it a try! Cheers
@@BarTalkCocktails i gave it a bit of dry vermouth.
im new to this and im still a on the rocks guy, but Its fun to play with
I think the first story is most believable. It might be true that he wasn’t a count or a blood Negroni, but from what we know about him, he seems like he may have embellished his backstory without pause. The problems with the dates in the other versions of stories easily debunks them, while our drinking, cat loving, anthropologist, explorer seems like a likely cocktail inventor.
Can you tell us the history behind Aperol Spritz??? 🍹🍾🇮🇹🙋🏻♀️
I will add it to my list and try making it in a future episode. Cheers!
The problem I have with this video is that Bruce seems to be suggesting that the origin story of a famous cocktail might not be completely true. But I've always assumed that cocktail origin stories are 100% true, gospel.
I don’t make the news I just report it. Haha
Thanks for tuning in and I hope you give this cocktail a go. Cheers!
Hey slick do you have to refrigerate vermouth
Hey Bud! I hope all is well. Store vermouth the same way you would store wine. Keep it cool, dark and away from sunlight and heat. Once open, keep your vermouth in the fridge. It gets stale tasting if it sits out. Try to use it up within a month once opened. Cheers!
Thank god I got all the needed ingredients in the house! 😅
This one can be an acquired taste. Did you enjoy it?
BarTalk&Cocktails Yes, actually it‘s one of my favs. Along with Americano and Manhattan, though I made the Manhattan with Jim Beam which seems to be not the best choice for it. Gotta try another Brand....
I must've done something wrong. I bought the three liquors shown (same brands) in the airline sized bottles, poured them into a glass since the recipe called for equal parts, and added the orange wedge. Then added Ice and stirred. It was absolutely the worst, most bitter drink I've ever had and it left a horrible aftertaste. Let my wife try it and she agreed so it wasn't just my taste buds. What the heck did I do wrong?
You probably didn't do anything wrong. The Negroni is a somewhat bitter-style cocktail with equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. It's not for everyone. It's an acquired taste that develops over time. You could try re-balancing your ingredients to suit your palate. Possibly cut back the Campari to a 1/2 ounce. Also, you could try making a Negroni with Campari's less bitter cousin, Aperol. It's a good starting point to appreciate the bitter side of cocktails. It certainly is worth trying again. Cheers!
What do you call it if you replace the Vermouth with Fireball and the Gin with Bacardi 151?
I call it an interesting spin on a classic. 151 might be a little much for my palate but worth a shot. Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails "An interesting spin on a classic." 🤣 Of course this was a reference to your 649 video. 😅
Btw would you mind making a drink for me? I make my John Collins and whiskey sours with Jim Beam Vanilla. Try it you'll like it. LOVE it even lol I call it the Harlow Sours and Bill Collins
I'll have to give Jim Beam Vanilla a go. The cocktails sound like a pleasing taste experience and I do like vanilla. Nice to see your creative juices flowing.
i think it really makes both drinks pop
Bruce ! Do AMF an untold story next ! Lol
Let me add this to my list for the new year. I’m pretty sure it’s been requested once before as well.
Currently we’re in Halloween mode then Christmas. Keep checking back lots more on the way!
Ps in case you didn’t hear it in previous episodes, I haven’t had a drop of tequila since 1979- which is why I actually haven’t covered any tequila episodes yet. But that’s a story for another time.
Tough to beat
It’s a good one!
the classic Negroni, how I like it.......also, a good recipe, is the Jägeroni........replace the Campari, with Jägermeister and the sweet Vermouth, with Dry Vermouth......cheers.....
Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers
You have a vid on clear ice ?
Bud! I don’t but it’s on my to do list. Cheers
0:34 “hyeah!”
🤪
I’ve only tried a Negroni once and it was the worst thing I’ve ever put in my mouth, which is unfortunate lol. Seems nice.
The crew didn’t like it either. It’s definitely an acquired taste.
No need to blaspheme, sir.
squeezing a wedge of orange?? you just supposed to squeeze a peel of skin before dropping it in
Hi thanks for watching. I tend to make cocktails to my liking and my palate. I don’t always follow the ‘rules’.
Don't always follow the "rules"? You are my man pal 😊
Famiglia Negroni has shoddy record keeping and no honor. Conte Camillo Negroni was a matrilineal first cousin to Mr. Landor!
You're correct. Camillo’s recorded mother was Ada Savage Landor, believed to be the aunt of Arnold. That would make Camillo, his cousin. However this is yet to be accurately substantiated. The Negroni war will probably continue on forever. All I know is that the Negroni is the most delicious of bitter cocktails, and a perfect elixir for a summer evening. Negroni week this year is September 13-19, 2021. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
It should be “sbagliato” not “spagliato”. Sbagliato means wrong, not correct, spagliato is not even a word in Italy
D’oh!! Thanks!
