The City Negroni by @the_winegay Wed, Jul 15, 2026 | gin aperitif liqueur vermouth Bold yet approachable, this sophisticated blackcurrant-forward twist on a Negroni delivers rich flavor and a smooth, balanced finish.The drink shifts away from heavy sweetness, utilizing the light, acidic berry skin and fresh botanicals of Hudson Valley’s C. Cassis alongside the warm, mossy baking spices of Harlem’s Little City Sweet Vermouth. This New York duo meets its structural match in the bitter orange peel of Campari and the dry, savory, pepper heat of Chicago’s Letherbee Gin. Got your own twist on a Negroni?
