What is the bartender tip for a Bergamot Negroni?
Campari at 22 ml and more spirit in the base; the touch of liqueur calls for extra-dry vermouth, not the sweet red of the classic. Oak-aged gin (Singofin in the video) brings vanilla and dried fruit; London Dry covers it, but the glass comes out drier. Bergamotiello is that house's tangerine/bergamot liqueur; Italicus (Rosolio di Bergamotto) is the closest stand-in. The 7.5 ml is the touch — any more turns citrus-sweet and buries the Campari. The published spec (Naren Young / Difford's) is 30 / 22.5 / 22.5 / 7.5; the short rounds the bitter to 22 ml. Stir for real; serve over fresh ice. It is not the Negroni (1:1:1 with sweet vermouth), or the Balanced Negroni (50/20/15, no liqueur).
