Negroni Week September 18th through the 24th 2023.
How do you celebrate Negroni Week? With a Negroni Cocktail of course! All this week bars, restaurants and home parties are celebrating this classic Italian cocktail. Traditionally, a Negroni is an Italian cocktail-considered an aperitif. made of one shot gin, one shot sweet vermouth and one shot Campari and garnished with orange peel. A traditionally made Negroni is stirred, not shaken; then poured over one large ice cube in an old-fashioned or rocks glass and garnished with a slice of orange.
What makes a Negroni so appealing are the myriad of flavors within the three ingredient components. Bitter, sweet, savory, herbaceous: Each flavor profile complements each other to create a very refreshing drink.

Let’s stir things up a bit! How about a variation on a classic Negroni and replace the gin with tequila. It works! Recently, I published an article about one of my new favorite tequilas, Aldez Tequila Blanco. This variation is kicked up a notch with spicy Ancho Reyes Chili Liqueur. It adds just enough spice to be interesting but not overpowering.
