And now Williams Sonoma has entered the ring witha simple, refreshing Negroni recipethat’s perfect for spring sipping. While a Negroni is traditionally made with equal parts gin, Campari and vermouth—seeour classic recipefor exact measurements—this recipe adds two blood orange slices for a fruity twist. The recipe also recommends swapping the gin with Prosecco or tonic water for bubbles, if you want—this swap will also bring down the strength of the drink, if that’s what you prefer.
It was love at first sight for commenters laying eyes on this recipe—plenty of Williams Sonoma shoppers chimed in to say they’d be trying out this drink in the spring and summer, while another person suggested adding insome Spindrift sodafor extra flavor and fizz.
To mimic the Williams Sonoma recipe, simply add two ounces each of Campari, sweet vermouth and London dry gin (or a fizzy alternative) to a small tumbler with ice and stir to combine. Drop in your two blood orange slices and kick back with your drink. If you have lots of blood oranges on hand, you could always turn them into a batch of blood orange syrup and spike your cocktail with a dose of syrup for even more flavor.
For a different citrusy twist on the Negroni, you could trythis recipe for a Boulevardier, which swaps the gin for bourbon or rye whiskey and adds orange bitters to the mix. You could also try ourBlood Orange MargaritaorBlood Orange, Gin & Prosecco Cocktailfor a different boozy take on this delicious citrus.
In any case, pair your drink with a tasty dish like ourBlood Oranges with Rose Water & Pistachiosfor a tart-sweet end to the day. Since oranges will help you get insome vitamin C and fiber, picking up some extra blood oranges to snack on during the week is a great idea. (They’ll even help you support your immune system!)
