Cocktail Description
A modern twist on Italy's most iconic cocktail, the Negroni Royale adds a celebratory sparkle to the classic bitter-sweet symphony.
This effervescent variation maintains the Negroni's signature ruby-red glow while transforming it into something more festive and approachable. The equal parts of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth create that familiar bittersweet foundation, while the addition of sparkling wine lifts the cocktail with bright effervescence that softens Campari's bold bite. Remarkably simple to prepare, this cocktail requires no special equipment or techniques—just a steady hand and quality ingredients. It shines as an aperitivo before an elegant dinner party or as a sophisticated option for holiday gatherings and special celebrations. The Negroni Royale pairs beautifully with salty antipasti, creamy cheeses, or even rich seafood dishes like lobster or scallops, as its bitter elements and bubbles cut through richness while the sweetness complements more delicate flavors.
