- Gin: Gin gives the Negroni its base flavour and provides a juniper-forward flavour.
- Campari: Campari adds a bitter, herbal flavour.
- Sweet Vermouth: Sweet vermouth adds a sweet, herbal flavour and helps to balance out the bitterness of the Campari.
The combination of these three ingredients creates an unforgettable flavour that is perfect for aperitifs or after dinner drinks.
