Dagon's PERSIANegroni, a twist on America's favorite cocktail, is blended with gin, Dolin Rouge, and poignant pomegranate. The Negroni is served in a Nick and Nora martini glass. This amazing flavorful Negroni is breaking all the rules. You might get many haters who will criticize the presentation as it defeats the purpose of calling it Negroni, but in the city that never sleeps, there are no high-end rules. To balance the intense flavors, Campari dust is applied to the glass rim.

A tropical Negroni that swiftly whisks you away to St. Barths' beaches? Count me in! The Strawberry Negroni from A.R.T SoHo is a vacation in a glass. It uses Bombay Sapphire gin and Campari. This strawberry-infused twist on the classic Negroni adds a beautiful layer of summer flavor that contrasts amazingly with the bitter, citrusy bite of Campari. To give the drink a rich and complex sweetness the gin is mixed with Balsamic, Martini & Rossi Rosso, and strawberry. The combination allows the gin and strawberry flavors to shine making it a smooth cocktail. This beverage will motivate you to take an additional "treat yourself" day because it is garnished with strawberries.
A strawberry infusion is an ideal method to soften the bitterness and make the strong Campari flavor a little more approachable if you are new to Negroni. But, this fruit-forward riff will be enjoyed even by seasoned Negroni lovers and those who already love Campari!

You can say that Sparkling Negroni can be the baby of an Aperol Spritz and a Negroni. Damn, would it be basic- Just Kidding! Little Owl transforms the traditional Negroni into an Aperol Spritz by mixing Prosecco with Cappelletti, Vermouth di Torino, and orange. The finished product is amazingly light and perfect for relishing the last few days of summer.

The Negroni served by Lucciola is unlike any other Negroni that you have drunk or heard of before! The Lucciola Negroni might sound a bit intimidating but you cannot deny the fact that we won't mind a bit of cheese with our booze. Lucciola's version of Negroni mixes every item necessary for the classic drink with a Parmigiano Reggiano. You can be a bit skeptical about the drink but don't worry the cheese is only dusted on the rim and slightly shaved on the top. You can experience the salty, sweet, bitter, and savory taste of the drink in just one sip, along with an explosion of umami notes.
