Cold-Weather Negroni

When the nights turn long and the air cuts a little sharper, even a stalwart like the Negroni begs for a winter coat. This seasonal riff wraps the classic in darker tones and deeper warmth, trading brilliance for complexity and a fireside glow.  Serve it in the Perfect Newgroni Glass, whose balanced weight and chilled clarity make the drink feel even more composed, contemplative, and winter-ready.

This wintry adaptation of a Negroni gets a deeper character and color from an amaro that’s heavier than the typical bright Campari, and the dusky richness of amontillado sherry. The burnt thyme adds a woodsy aroma, but can be an optional touch. 

• 1 ounce gin
• 1 ounce amaro
• 1/2 ounce amontillado sherry
• lemon twist, for garnish
• sprig fresh thyme (optional)

In a rocks glass, combine the gin, amaro and sherry with ice. Stir 10 to 15 seconds. Garnish with the lemon twist. If using thyme, briefly ignite the sprig, blow out the flame and float the thyme on the drink.
