Fresh strawberries and Aperol bring fruity, bittersweet flavors to the classic Negroni in this riff crafted by hip, Downtown gastropub, The Commoner. The four-ingredient recipe is easy to blend up at home — give it a quick stir with some ice, and you’re ready for cocktail hour!
Traditionally speaking, the Negroni uses equal parts Campari, gin, and sweet red vermouth and always comes with an orange wheel garnish.
What is Carpano Bianco in This Strawberry Negroni?
Carpano Bianco is one of Carpano’s many vermouth styles, which has been making Italian vermouth since 1786. This specific type one is considered the most aromatic and elegant. This Carpano Bianco has a slight yellow hue and an exotic, citrus flavor. You’ll find light notes of cocoa beans and almonds plus a subtle hint of wine beneath its bold taste. It’s a great choice for our Strawberry Negroni Bianco, adding a floral touch to this already tasteful traditional cocktail.

Strawberry Negroni Bianco
Description
Fresh strawberries and an aromatic vermouth make a sophisticated negroni.
Instructions
- Blend all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix/better to do in a batch), and strain through a fine-mesh colander lined with cheesecloth.
- Once strained, add 3 oz of the cocktail in a mixing glass with ice and stir 40-48 times.
- Strain over fresh ice in a double rocks glass and serve with a half of a strawberry as a garnish.
- A twist of a peel of lemon is always a great idea when using strawberry and gin… salud!
