Tips

Keep the cold brew to 10 ml; that's enough for a roasted edge without thinning the drink.
Real cold brew stays smooth, while hot-brewed coffee that's been cooled down muddies the gin's botanicals.

History

The Cold Brew Negroni is a modern riff on the Negroni. It keeps the classic's gin, sweet vermouth and red bitter and adds a small measure of cold brew coffee to the stir, layering a roasted, bitter edge onto the classic bittersweet profile.
