For other negroni variations, try our mezcal negroni and our tequila negroni. They’re delicious! This is a great cocktail to serve at a boozy brunch when you’re looking for something a little stronger than the usual mimosa. But it’s also fantastic at a party when you want to serve an easy-to-make yet impressive cocktail. It’s also very easy to make a big pitcher so you can share it with your friends. And if you love bittersweet Italian cocktails as much as we do, also try this Aperol spritz recipe! Coffee liqueur – We used Kahlua in recipe testing and no matter how we made a coffee negroni using coffee liqueur, it always came out too sweet. We tried different amounts and even tried replacing the sweet vermouth with Kahlua, but the result was always the same. A negroni needs to be well-balanced, and using coffee liquor made an overly sweet negroni. The only bonus to using coffee liqueur was the color of the finished drink. It was a darker, almost black color, which we preferred. Espresso – This was the clear winner from the beginning, but it took a few tests to get the balance just right. A full ounce of coffee made a delicious negroni with a strong coffee flavor, but the signature booziness of a negroni disappeared; it tasted like a light cocktail. In the end, a half-ounce of espresso per negroni was the perfect amount to give a wonderful coffee flavor and a well-balanced negroni.
