Cold Brew Negroni cocktail Recipe

The Cold Brew Negroni is a modern twist on the classic Negroni cocktail, infusing the timeless recipe with the rich, robust flavors of cold brew coffee. This innovative variant not only pays homage to the traditional Italian aperitif but also caters to the contemporary palate that appreciates the nuanced complexity of cold brew coffee. It's a perfect cocktail for coffee lovers looking to explore a sophisticated blend of bitterness, sweetness, and the aromatic depth of coffee.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Gin
  • 1 oz Campari
  • 1 oz Sweet Vermouth
  • 1 oz Cold Brew Coffee (preferably a strong, high-quality brew)
  • Garnish: Orange peel
  • Ice

Glass Type:

  • Rocks glass

Alcohol Content:

The Cold Brew Negroni contains alcohol from the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, each typically having an ABV (alcohol by volume) of around 15-30%. The addition of cold brew coffee does not add to the alcohol content but introduces a caffeine component to the cocktail. This makes the Cold Brew Negroni a moderately strong cocktail, both in terms of alcohol and caffeine.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Glass: Start by chilling a rocks glass with ice cubes to keep the cocktail cool and refreshing.

  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing glass filled with ice, add the gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, and cold brew coffee. The quality of the cold brew is crucial as it significantly influences the drink's final flavor profile.

  3. Stir: Gently stir the mixture for about 30 seconds to combine the flavors while maintaining the integrity of the cold brew.

  4. Strain: Strain the cocktail into the prepared rocks glass filled with fresh ice. This step ensures a smooth, chilled drinking experience.

  5. Garnish: Express the oil from an orange peel over the drink to add a citrusy aroma, then place the peel in the glass as a garnish. The orange's brightness complements the cocktail's complex flavors.

History and Presentation:

The original Negroni, born in Florence, Italy, in the early 20th century, is beloved for its perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness, and herbal notes. The Cold Brew Negroni builds on this foundation, introducing the contemporary favorite—cold brew coffee—into the mix, offering a drink that's both innovative and deeply rooted in cocktail tradition.

This cocktail is ideal for those who appreciate the classic Negroni but are seeking something unique and slightly unconventional. The addition of cold brew coffee not only adds a modern twist but also enhances the cocktail's depth, making it a delightful choice for any time of day. Serving it in a rocks glass highlights its elegance and allows for the appreciation of its rich color and inviting aroma, making the Cold Brew Negroni a must-try for cocktail aficionados and coffee lovers alike.
