London dry gin
Ingredient type · Gin
What it does
London dry gin is the default gin shape for a Classic Negroni: dry, juniper-led, and firm enough to hold Campari and rosso in place. It gives the drink its spine rather than sweetness or weight. Softer gins can work, but this is the clean reference style most gin-based versions are pushing from.
What it opens up
- Classic NegroniGin, Campari, sweet vermouth, equal measures. The one everything else is measured against.
- White NegroniThe pale one. Still bitter and strong, drier and more herbal, no red in sight.
- Long Negroni-style serveNegroni logic stretched with tonic or soda. Colder, longer, a slow sipper.
- Cynar NegroniCynar changes the bitter, not the base. Darker, earthier, less bright.
