The traditional Negroni is an Italian cocktail made of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso and one part campari, garnished with orange peel. Traditionally stirred, not shaken, and built over ice.

The Lyre’s Rosa Negroni varies the proportions to favour the piquant orange flavour. And true-to-form, is stirred, not shaken.  Lyre’s products are non-alcoholic alternatives to traditional spirits.

Without easy access to my measuring tool, I used the slightly larger lid of my cocktail shaker, pretending it was 15ml.  It was larger. Which meant I ended up with a nice large drink, and depleted supplies. Shucks.

Worth it. Lovely, refreshing, exotic.
