In the world of mixology, few drinks can rival the elegance and distinctive flavor of the Classic Negroni. While known for its simplicity, its combination of ingredients makes it a true masterpiece. Join us as we explore the ingredients for making a Classic Negroni.

The Pillars of the Classic Negroni

Tanqueray London Dry®: Tanqueray London Dry® gin is the essential base of the Classic Negroni. Its unique flavor profile, dominated by citrus notes, adds complexity and character to the drink.

Campari®: Campari® contributes a touch of bitterness and pleasant herbal complexity to the Negroni. Its vibrant red color is a distinctive hallmark of this classic cocktail.

Vermouth Rosso®: Red vermouth is the flavored component that balances the gin and Campari®. It brings herbal, spicy notes and a subtle sweetness that softens the bitterness.

Orange Wedge: A fresh orange wedge adds a citrusy touch that enhances the freshness of the Negroni and imparts a fragrant note to each sip.

The Classic Negroni is a cocktail best enjoyed in good company, while sharing stories and celebrating life. At Ilios Greek Estiatorio, we not only value tradition but also love to innovate. That’s why we’re delighted to announce the upcoming Negroni Week, where you can experience both the Classic Negroni and a fascinating reinterpretation: the Negroni Egeo, available from September 18th to 24th.

Negroni Egeo: An Innovative Twist

While honoring the richness of the Classic Negroni, at Ilios, we love to explore new flavors inspired by Greek culture. That’s why, during Negroni Week, we introduce the Negroni Egeo. This exclusive cocktail incorporates Mediterranean flavors in a glass:

The Negroni Egeo will transport you to the sun-drenched shores of Greece with every sip. The infusion of grapevine leaves adds a fresh, herbaceous dimension, while the white wine with mint brings a refreshing note. Tonic water completes this unique experience, and the orange wedge and olive evoke the Mediterranean flavors we cherish.

During Negroni Week, you won’t have to wonder, “Where can I enjoy a Negroni?” as you can savor these two fascinating cocktails at Ilios Greek Estiatorio. So, whether you’re a lover of classic cocktails or eager to try a refreshing innovation, join us and raise a glass to Negroni Week at Ilios. Tradition and creativity blend in every sip, creating an experience you’ll never forget. We look forward to elevating your senses and celebrating life with us!
