Story

You asked for interesting gin cocktail recipes using Amaro Nonino. Early in the list, this landed as a direct reinterpretation of a Negroni, replacing Campari with Nonino for a gentler bitterness and more layered herbal-orange character. The defining shift here was steering away from aggressive bitterness toward something silkier and more aromatic.

Method

  1. Add gin, Amaro Nonino, and vermouth to a mixing glass with ice.
  2. Stir until thoroughly chilled and diluted.
  3. Strain into a chilled coupe or over a large cube in a rocks glass.
  4. Express an orange twist over the drink and garnish.

Notes

  • Blanc vermouth version softens the drink further and pushes citrus and floral notes forward.
