Key Ingredients
The Easy Gin Aperol Negroni is all about balance and boldness. Here are a couple of key ingredients that make this cocktail shine:
- Aperol: This Italian aperitif is the star of the show. It’s bittersweet, vibrant, and adds a unique flavor profile to the cocktail.
- Gin: A good quality gin is essential. It adds a botanical complexity that complements the Aperol perfectly.
How to Make
Making an Easy Gin Aperol Negroni is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Add Aperol, Gin, and Sweet Vermouth to a cocktail mixing glass with ice.
- Stir well to combine and chill the ingredients.
- Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass with whiskey ice.

Tips and Tricks
Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the perfect Easy Gin Aperol Negroni:
- Using Sweet Vermouth instead of Dry Vermouth helps balance the bitterness of the Aperol. If you only have Dry Vermouth, consider adding a splash of simple syrup.
