    If you're on the hunt for a concoction that effortlessly combines the vibrant spirit of summer with the timeless elegance of a classic cocktail, look no further than the Negroni Spritz. This perfectly balanced libation requires just a few ingredients and only a couple of minutes to assemble, but the flavor is nothing short of remarkable.

    The gin's botanical elegance tempers the bitter notes of Campari, vermouth's subtle sweetness brings harmony, and dry prosecco brings an energetically effervescent fizz to the composition. The result is a drink that's confidently boozy yet remarkably approachable.

    So, whether you're lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard barbecue, or simply seeking a moment of respite in a hectic week, let this simple Negroni drink be your boosy muse – a radiant, revitalizing elixir that captures the essence of summer in a single, splendid sip.

    ⭐ Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    If you’re a fan of bittersweet drinks like my Aperol Negroni Sour or Grapefruit Gin Cocktail, chances are you’re going to love this Campari and gin spritz. Aside from tasting like a summer sunset in a glass, this bubbly Negroni cocktail recipe is also:

    • Quick & Easy - All you need are 5 ingredients, 5 minutes, and a tall glass of ice — no shaking required!
    • Light & Refreshing - It’s the ideal choice for hot and sticky weather. In fact, I’m ready to deem summer the Negroni Season!
    • Lusciously Boozy - Despite having a thirst-quenching taste, these Campari prosecco spritzers pack quite the alcoholic punch!

    🍴Ingredients 

    Ingredients needed to make a negroni spritz on the counter.

    As promised, you only need a handful of ingredients to make this recipe for Negroni spritzes. Here’s what to grab:

    • Campari - This bitter red Italian liqueur is the classic choice for a gin Negroni, but you can swap in Aperol or Suze liqueur if you prefer.
    • Gin - My preferred negroni gin is Hendrick's Gin, but feel free to swap in your favorite brand.
    • Sweet Vermouth - The lightly sweet-tart and floral flavor of vermouth helps to balance out this Campari Negroni spritz. Lillet Blanc is a great substitute if you need one!
    • Prosecco - If you haven’t tried topping your Negroni with prosecco, now is the time. It’s lovely and light, perfect for summer.
    • Orange - I like to add either a slice or twist to this gin and Campari spritzer. If you’re not sure your guests will enjoy the bitter undertones, go for a slice — it’s sweeter and juicier!

    ⏲️ Substitutions & Variations

    As much as I love this Campari and prosecco-laced pink Negroni spritzer, there are plenty of ways for you to make it your own. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

    • Negroni Mocktail - Swap in your favorite non-alcoholic gin, Campari, vermouth, and prosecco brands to make a decidedly adult-tasting virgin cocktail. 
    • Negroni Bianco Spritz - Take a page out of the White Negroni playbook and swap the Campari and vermouth for Lillet Blanc and Suze liqueur. 
    • Swap Your Spirit - While a classic Negroni is a campari gin cocktail, try making this effervescent Negroni with vodka or white rum instead.
    • Less Bitter - Still warming up to bitter gentian root? Swap the Campari out in favor of making this bubbly Negroni with Aperol instead.

    📖 How to Make a Negroni Spritz: Step-by-Step Instructions

    This pretty in pink gin spritz comes together without any fuss, making it the ideal poolside sipper. Here’s how it’s done:

    Pouring gin into a stirring glass using a jigger.

    Step 1: Pour gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth into the glass. 

    Stirring negroni ingredients in a glass with a bar spoon.

    Step 2: Stir the negroni base together gently using a bar spoon or a long stirring stick.

    Pouring prosecco into a glass.

    Step 3: Top the stirred mixture with prosecco or sparkling wine.

    Adding an orange peel into the negroni spritz.

    Step 4: Garnish with an orange slice or twist - then enjoy!

    👩🏻‍🍳 Expert Tips

    • Freeze your glasses. When it’s blisteringly hot out, the best antidote is a refreshing beverage. To keep your spritz nice and frosty for as long as possible, start with icy cold glasses.
    • Know your ratio. If you can remember 1:1:1:2, you can easily make this Negroni spritz from memory. You need 1 part of each of your spirits plus 2 parts prosecco for a perfectly balanced gin campari cocktail.
    • Opt for large cubes. The larger the ice cube, the slower it melts. Consider using specialty large-capacity ice cube trays to ensure your spritzes don’t get too watered down as you sip.  
    •  For an authentic Negroni Spritz experience, consider visiting an Italian bar during aperitivo hour. It offers a glimpse into the culture and is the best way to enjoy this classic Italian cocktail, especially during Negroni week.
    • If you're looking to create a twist on the traditional Negroni, the Negroni Sbagliato cocktail, born from Milan's Bar Basso, is a bubbly libation that combines the bitter Italian aperitif with sparkling wine like Pinot Gris, making it the perfect post-work apéritif or dinner party drink.
    • For a balanced Negroni Spritz recipe, use a mixing glass to blend dry gin, red vermouth, and Campari spritz. Then serve in an old-fashioned glass or rocks glass garnished with an orange twist. The blend captures the essence of the original cocktail while offering a refreshing end to a busy day.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    What is a Negroni spritz?

    At it’s most basic, a Negroni spritz is simply a cocktail made with equal parts gin, vermouth, Campari and topped with fizzy prosecco for a touch of effervescence. It’s the ideal summer aperitif!

    What does a negroni spritz taste like?

    The Negroni Spritz delights the senses with its bright, bitter, and blissful symphony of flavors. A botanical foundation of gin lays the groundwork for this libation's aromatic profile, while the iconic Campari adds its distinctive bitter-sweet personality. 

    Vermouth's herbal undertones infuse the drink with a complexity that keeps your tastebuds curious, while prosecco adds tongue-tingling bubbles with every sip. It's a combination that resonates with the essence of summer – vibrant, invigorating, and impossibly refreshing.

    What’s the difference between a negroni and a spritz?

    The Negroni and the Spritz are both iconic Italian cocktails, but they have their own unique vibes. The Negroni brings a strong and bold flavor with gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth – it's like a classy punch of bitterness. 

    On the other hand, the Spritz is all about being light and refreshing, mixing a bitter liqueur like Aperol or Campari with white wine or Prosecco, and adding some bubbly soda water. It's the kind of drink you'd want on a sunny afternoon to keep things chill. 

    So, if you're up for a more intense and complex sip, go for the Negroni, and if you're after a light and bubbly refreshment, the Spritz is your jam. But, if you’re looking for the best of BOTH worlds, try this Negroni Spritz!
