Negroni Cocktail Set: Campari + Bulldog Gin
What is Negroni Cocktail Set: Campari + Bulldog Gin?
The Negroni Cocktail Set, featuring Campari and Bulldog Gin, brings together two essential components of this classic Italian aperitivo. While Campari's bitter-sweet complexity is well-known, Bulldog Gin's unique blend of botanicals, including dragon eye and poppy, adds an unexpected depth to the cocktail. Interestingly, the Negroni was invented in 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender to strengthen his Americano by replacing the soda water with gin. This happy accident led to the creation of one of the most enduring and popular cocktails in the world, now enjoyed in countless variations across the globe.

Bulldog Gin's unique blend of 12 botanicals, including dragon eye and poppy, adds complexity to the bitter-sweet Campari, creating a Negroni with unexpected depth and a smooth, lingering finish that sets it apart from traditional versions.
How do you drink Negroni Cocktail Set: Campari + Bulldog Gin?
The Negroni Cocktail Set, featuring Campari and Bulldog Gin, is best savored in classic gin-based cocktails or enjoyed as an aperitif over ice with a twist of orange peel. This sophisticated duo shines in warm weather, making it perfect for summer evenings on the patio, and pairs beautifully with light appetizers like bruschetta, olives, or prosciutto-wrapped melon.
Nose: Fresh juniper and citrus zest from the gin mingle with Campari's distinctive herbal and bitter orange aromas. Hints of coriander and angelica root add complexity.
Palate: Bold and bittersweet. Juniper-forward gin flavors balance Campari's intense bitterness. Notes of grapefruit peel, herbs, and subtle spice create a layered taste. The gin's smooth texture softens Campari's edge.
Finish: Long and pleasantly bitter. Lingering notes of orange peel and aromatic herbs. A subtle warmth from the gin's alcohol content. Leaves the palate refreshed with a gentle astringency, inviting another sip.
The Negroni Cocktail Set featuring Campari and Bulldog Gin combines two distinct spirits with rich histories. Campari, an iconic Italian bitter aperitif, is made from a closely guarded recipe of herbs and fruit, while Bulldog Gin showcases a unique blend of botanicals including dragon eye, poppy, and lotus leaves, all distilled in traditional copper pot stills.
