They no longer use Carmine (Cochineal). Sad. Very, very sad. Joan,

As of about June of ‘07 Campari has been artificially colored. They no longer use Carmine (Cochineal).

Sad. Very, very sad.

Thought it was God awful and decided to try and find out what it is made of exactly. Found this little story and laughed until I cried. I think it will be the perfect drink to order when I don't want to drink! Just tried Campari for the first time. Thought it was God awful and decided to try and find out what it is made of exactly.

Owned by the bass player of the Husker Du and his wife, the place is a delight with a great bar. He makes his negroni's with a dash of blood orange bitters. I've been using Fee's regular orange bitters with good results. Orange twist is my choice for garnish. Anywho, that's my story. My first negroni was near Lake Pepin at The Norton restaurant.

A “Negroni sbagliato” (wrong Negroni) has sparkling white wine instead of gin, which makes it a little lighter.] [...] […] [BTW, “Negroni” is a typical milanese cocktail, containing Campari (another typical milanese liquor), red vermouth (aka red Martini) and gin, plus perhaps an orange slice.

I can’t recall the first time I encountered Cynar, but it was definitely an ingredient that fit well into my repertoire. From a flavor standpoint, the way I describe Cynar, as that it is a kinder and gentler version of Campari. While I have no idea how many ingredients they might have in common, I find that the flavor profile between the two is fairly similar, and somebody who likes one, will usually like the other. Fortunately, it is (since 1995) part of the Campari portfolio of products, so I doubt that the parent company would be upset with that comparison.

But that doesn't mean a little adjustment won't make it work even better. The Sidecar "originally" was an "equal parts" recipe, but rarely do I see recipe books call for it that way. Myself I prefer 4 parts Cognac, 2 parts Cointreau, and 1 part fresh lemon juice. “equal parts” is the classic ratio for the Negroni, and should be what most recipe books use.

Guess I have some taste-testing ahead of me. I just recently gave the Negroni a try and I really liked it…although in the recipes I’ve seen the proportions vary a bit.
