Negroni Sour
This Negroni sour is a lively take on the classic Negroni cocktail. Aesthetically pleasing, with a frothy top and plenty of citrus character alongside the bittersweet components, this gin and Campari sour is a bit of a gem.

Equipment
- 1 Cocktail shaker or a sturdy screwtop glass jar
- 1 Strainer hawthorne, julep or a small fine-meshed sieve
Ingredients
- 30 ml Campari
- 30 ml Gin
- 30 ml Red Vermouth
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 20 ml Sugar syrup (simple syrup)
- 20 ml Egg white
- 1-3 Mixologist's Garden Lemon Slices to garnish
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients except the lemon slices into the base of a cocktail shaker (do not add ice). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to build up the foam.
- Add a large handful of ice to the shaker and shake hard again for another 30-45 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels ice-cold and a creamy foam has developed.
- Strain into a tumbler half-filled with ice and garnish with the Mixologist’s Garden lemon slices. Serve immediately.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Lay a single lemon slice directly onto the egg white foam.
- Thread three lemon slices onto a cocktail pick and suspend over the top of the glass.
- This drink can also be served, without ice, in a sours glass or a coupe glass.
- It is important to perform a dry shake and a wet shake. The dry shake helps build up the foam prior to the ice chilling & diluting the liquid during the wet shake. The latter also advances the texture of the foam.
- Try to chill your serving glass for 15 minutes if freezer space allows. Your drink will stay colder for longer if you do.
- If you do not own a cocktail shaker use a large glass jar with a screw top lid instead.
- Once mixed take a sip before pouring your cocktail and adjust the flavours to suit your own requirements:
- If it’s too sour add a little more sugar syrup.
- If it’s too sweet add a little more lemon juice.
