So I saw and bought this because of your post. 27 bucks for a 750ml fifth, which is honestly a steal. Highly recommend it.

And generally if you have the good fortune to be in Vancouver, Pidgin is wonderful.

It’s supposed to be 1/3 x 3. Equal parts of 3 ingredients.


I’ve been making Negroni’s for years. D alway put less Campari in than the other 2 ingredients.

Can you explain when you drink them? You make them at home for random casual drinks... or more-so strictly after dinner or before dinner?


I like them because they're strong AF. The bitterness goes well with salty and acidic Italian food.

Newsflash: not everyone likes the same kinds of things, and that's ok!

I love negronis. Others may not like the bitter and herbal flavor. Ok. I personally can't stand sugary stuff like mudslides, Pina coladas, or daiquiri.

Drink what you like, who cares.

I love a Negroni, but I love anything with Campari. A Campari and soda is my favorite summer drink.

it’s probably better to say that medicine taste like a Negroni. Bitters and vermouths were created to be medicinal!
