I made Richard's Blood orange Negroni's tonight. They are great, very refreshing. Feel free to judge my ice cubes, gin etc.
The perfect Negroni

My first attempt at making a negroni. 30ml each of Campari, Tanqueray gin and Antica Formula. I could probably use bigger measurements, it seems a bit small. Also better glassware needed.

So for a Cardinale, now I have assembled all the ingredients, are the recommended proportions 1-1-1 ?

Very impressive, James. It’s a quarter past eleven. Most people would be on Horlicks or Ovaltine by now.

I substituted the Tanqueray for Brecon this evening, no discernible difference.

I've just made myself a really refreshing blood orange juice Americano. Lovely. One of the joys of the season.

I believe the popularity of the Negroni in large part stems from its un-eff-up-ability and customisability within a very simple template. It is difficult to make a truly bad Negroni or variation on it.
My favourite Negroni riff is a 'Toffee' Negroni: 45 ml of Havana Club 7 (or similar aged dark rum), 30 ml Amontillado Sherry, 30 ml Campari, garnish with an orange peel - it really does taste of toffee.
That said, I prefer the Boulevardier in general. I think whisky is more balanced and characterful than gin is in this drink.

You phoned Battersea Butlers and had them come around and make it for you and your guests?

A visit to Mexico introduced me to Mezcal and it's highly delightful bastard child mezcaloni.
Basically substitute the gin with mezcal and enjoy. The smokiness adds an extra element of flavour which just increases the adult enjoyment.
Further experiments have involved substituting vermouth with madeira. Sercial and verdelho both work but have a slight tendency to bully other flavours so a light pour of the madeira may be beneficial.

Kol do a good one based on mezcal. They sub in Cynar for the vermouth I think. The Campari stays.

A friend gave me this. Quite a few variations to experiment with.
