Any-Spirit Negroni image

This take on the classic drink uses a combination of sweet and dry vermouths in the standard gin-vermouth-red bitter formula, adding depth and character. The vermouths are paired with the spirit of your choice for an adaptable drink that puts whatever bottles you prefer or have on hand to work. If you're not a fan of the traditional gin, rum, tequila or bourbon or rye whiskeys are all great here.
