Strawberry Negroni Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Negroni?

A Negroni is a slightly bitter yet citrusy drink. One of the most classic Italian summer cocktails using gin, Campari and sweet vermouth.

How do you drink a Negroni?

Sip your negroni slowly as it is purely booze! Adding the strawberry simple syrup helps to cut the alcohol some, but it is best to sip slowly to fully enjoy your strawberry negroni.

Do you shake or stir a Negroni?

You should never, ever shake a Negroni. A proper Negroni is built over ice in a mixing glass and stirred gently with a cocktail spoon. This helps to avoid creating bubbles, leading to a more velvety mouthfeel in the drink. Shaking also causes the drink to become more diluted and colder which we don’t want here.

Why add strawberry to a negroni?

Adding strawberry simple syrup made with TruEats Monk Fruit Sweetener helps to cut some of the bite from this notoriously boozy drink and adds a light sweetness, playing down the bitterness of the Campari.

Can I make the strawberry negroni syrup ahead of time?

You can, and probably should, make the strawberry syrup ahead of time. Since you will need to cool the syrup prior to adding to your drink, it is wise to make this ahead and place in the fridge for at least an hour prior to making the strawberry negroni.

How do I store strawberry simple syrup?

Store the strawberry syrup in a glass jar with a lid in the fridge. It will keep fresh up to one week.

How To Make A Strawberry Negroni

Once you make the strawberry simple syrup, there are just a few simple steps you’ll need to take to make this refreshing summer gin cocktail!

Gather Your Ingredients

For the Strawberry Simple Syrup

  • TruEats Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • Strawberries – Fresh or frozen work
  • Water
  • Orange Zest

For the Negroni

  • Gin
  • Campari
  • Sweet Vermouth
  • Fresh Strawberry + Orange Slice for garnish
  1. Make the Strawberry Simple Syrup. In a medium pot over medium high heat, add water and TruEats Monk Fruit Sweetener, whisking gently to begin dissolving the monk fruit. Next, add whole strawberries to the pot, fresh or frozen both will work. Stir occasionally, gently smashing and breaking up the strawberries as you stir. Allow the syrup to come up to a boil, then immediately reduce heat, simmering for 12-15 minutes. Add 1 tbsp of fresh orange zest and stir until combined.

2. Strain the Strawberry Syrup. After simmering 12-15 minutes, place a fine mesh strainer over the lid of a heat proof glass jar. Ladle the strawberries and juices into the strainer a little at a time, gently pressing down on the solids to ensure the liquid passes through the strainer and they remain behind. Repeat the process until you’ve strained all of the liquid from the solids. Cool the syrup at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.

3. Build the Strawberry Negroni. In a mixing glass, add 2 oz each of the Campari, gin, sweet vermouth and strawberry simple syrup. Stir gently with a cocktail spoon to mix. Pour over ice and serve in rocks glasses.
