Cocktail Description
The Red Carousel spins classic cocktail DNA into a ruby-hued sipper that's essentially a vodka Negroni.
This crimson beauty balances Ketel One's clean canvas with Campari's distinctive bittersweet bite and the herbal richness of sweet vermouth. The result is less punchy than a traditional Negroni but with the same captivating complexity—bitter orange notes mingling with botanical sweetness and a smooth finish. Perfect for aperitif hour or whenever you want something sophisticated without the intensity of gin, this straightforward cocktail requires just a stir with ice, making it accessible even for novice home bartenders. The Red Carousel pairs beautifully with salty antipasti, hard cheeses, or grilled seafood, with its bittersweet profile cutting through rich foods while complementing Mediterranean flavors.
