What is the bartender tip for a Coffee Negroni?
The classic is 30 ml of each; here 20 ml of coffee liqueur goes in and the vermouth drops to 15 ml so the sweetness doesn't stack up. Ice above the liquid in the mixing glass — too little ice warms the drink and dilutes it poorly. Liqueur quality matters: Cabra Lab, made with Brazilian coffees, has the body to carry a stirred drink without turning into a sweetened Negroni. The navel orange peel isn't just for looks: expressing the oil over the glass as you serve is what ties the coffee aroma to Campari's bitterness.
