HOW TO MAKE A Cold Brew Negroni

  • Large ice cube being placed into a mixing glass for a Cold Brew Negroni

    STEP 1 - Fill a mixing glass with ice

    Fill a mixing glass with plenty of fresh ice. Stirring over ice chills the cocktail quickly while adding just enough dilution to bring the bold flavours into balance.

  • Gin, Campari and sweet vermouth being poured into a mixing glass

    STEP 2 - Add the gin, Campari and sweet vermouth

    Pour the gin, Campari and sweet vermouth into the mixing glass. These three classic ingredients form the backbone of every great Negroni, bringing botanical lift, bitter orange and rich, herbal sweetness.

  • MiBebee Coffee Liqueur being poured into a mixing glass

    STEP 3 - Pour in the MiBebee Coffee Liqueur

    Add the MiBebee Coffee Liqueur, crafted with premium Kenyan Arabica coffee. It brings roasted depth, dark chocolate and a gentle sweetness that rounds out Campari's bitter edge.

  • Bar spoon stirring a Cold Brew Negroni in a mixing glass

    STEP 4 - Stir gently for 20 to 30 seconds until chilled

    Stir the cocktail for around 20–30 seconds. Stirring chills and dilutes the drink while keeping its silky texture and deep, glossy colour, the hallmarks of a well-made Negroni.

  • Cold Brew Negroni over a large ice cube garnished with orange peel

    STEP 5 - Strain, garnish & serve

    Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Express the oils from a fresh orange peel over the glass before using it as a garnish. The bright citrus aroma lifts the roasted coffee and bitter orange notes in the cocktail.

ABOUT the Negroni

The Cold Brew Negroni is a modern twist on the classic Negroni, one of the world's most celebrated aperitivo cocktails.

The History of the Negroni

The Negroni is said to have been born in Florence around 1919, when Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender to strengthen his Americano by swapping soda water for gin. More than a century later, its balance of bitter, sweet and botanical has made it one of the most loved cocktails in the world. The Cold Brew Negroni brings coffee liqueur into the mix, adding roasted depth and a rounded sweetness that sits beautifully alongside Campari's bitter orange. With MiBebee Coffee Liqueur, crafted from premium Kenyan Arabica coffee, this Italian icon gains notes of dark chocolate and caramel that make it richer and more memorable.
