shellylh Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) A Negroni is pretty close to a Margarita. They both have 3 ingredients. You can make them both with equal ratios (although I wouldn't recommend doing that with a `rita). So I say go for it!

Dude that is one strong Old Ale......color me jealous Stone 2011 RIS for me....dangerously smooth; I wish they made this a little more bitter and dark chocolatey but overall still excellent. I'm scared aging this will make it too smooth but I'm buying a case anyway just because my local is not restricting me from doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Decided to fuck around a little since I have no idea what I'm doing and ended up with a drink made with 2 1/2 oz rye, 1/2 oz campari, and 2 dashes of peychaud's. Is there a name for something like this? Not anything great, but it's immensely drinkable. This again. Don't know if my proportions were slightly off this time, but I'm getting more rye bite out of it now, which was the original goal of reducing the amount of campari from the initial mix (which tasted mostly of campari). If any of the senior mixologists read this, I'd love to know if this is an actual cocktail, and/or their thoughts on it and what might be done to improve it.

Well the closest I could find was a Jamie Boudreau cocktail called the Dupont 2 oz rye whiskey ¾ oz Campari ½ oz beer liqueur Stir and strain into cocktail glass. Why not name it yourself? How about a Cajun Negroni? The proportions look pretty good unless you want the Campari in the background.

Duggeh Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Doug, did you have a cynar cocktail of some kind when we went into the city during Mayberry? I did, I asked for a Negroni with Cynar in place of the Campari. It was most agreeable indeed. Another twist I like is to use Dubonnet instead of Rosso.
