Received a bottle and proceeded to make a Negroni cocktail, following a recipe on the web.
Blech!!! Tastes like something that the cat dragged in.
I hate to dump a bottle...however does anyone know of a recipe to make it drinkable?
Thanks!

The Negroni is a popular Italian cocktail, made of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso, and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel. It is considered an apéritif. A traditionally made Negroni is stirred, not shaken, and built over ice in an old-fashioned or rocks glass and garnished with a slice of orange. Wikipedia I received a bottle of this crap already made. I hate gin...therefore I hate Negroni’s. |

Feed the squirter some seltzer and turn her loose. Everything is is better carbonated.

If you received a bottle already made, and then proceeded to follow a recipe, you made a double Negroni? |

Saw a recipe that suggests adding sparkling wine or champagne. Maybe that’s an option |

You’d have to think if a dry or sweet champagne would work best. |

Negroni's are awesome - you have to like bitter.
ditch the gin - use whiskey to make a Boulvadier - much better.

Added grapefruit juice to try to make something better? Were you out of prune juice?
I found the perfect recipe for using premade Negroni.
1. Prep your glasses: If you would like to salt the rim of your glass, run a juicy lime wedge around the rim, then dip the rim in coarse Kosher salt, and set aside.
2. Throw the fucking bottle of Negroni in the garbage.
3. Combine tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and a few ice cubes in a cocktail shaker.
4. Then give the mixture a good shake (or a good stir!) until it is combined and chilled.
5. Strain and serve on the rocks. Garnished with a slice of lime, if you would like.

Thanks for the suggestions! I’m gonna give this bottle a proper burial. Maybe take it to skid row and make a degenerates day.
