Cocktail Description
This vibrant ruby-hued cocktail transforms the classic Negroni into a holiday showstopper with its tart cranberry twist.
The Cranberry Negroni balances the herbal complexity of Beefeater Gin with Campari's signature bitterness, while sweet vermouth adds depth and cranberry juice brings a bright, fruity dimension. You'll taste the familiar botanical notes and pleasant bitterness of a traditional Negroni, but with a refreshing cranberry tang that softens the edges. Perfect for winter gatherings or festive occasions, this cocktail makes an excellent pre-dinner aperitif to stimulate the appetite. It's surprisingly straightforward to make—just shake, strain, and garnish—making it accessible for home bartenders with basic equipment. The Cranberry Negroni pairs beautifully with rich appetizers like aged cheese, charcuterie, or smoked salmon canapés, as its tartness cuts through fatty foods while the bittersweet elements complement savory flavors.
