The Cocoa Negroni is a modern cocktail that was created in 2020 by Alex Sukopp, former bartender of Sips From Scripts, for National Negroni Week. It's a simple variation of the Negroni that adds Angostura's cocoa bitters and a Terry's Chocolate Orange garnish to the iconic classic recipe, which is traditionally made with equal-parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari.
Add gin, vermouth, Campari, and cocoa bitters to a mixing glass.
Fill mixing glass with cubed ice.
Using a bar spoon, stir for 30-45 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Add a clear ice cube to a lowball glass.
Using a julep strainer, strain into lowball glass.
Express orange wedge into glass.
Carefully cut a slit into Terry’s chocolate orange wedge.
Garnish with Terry’s chocolate orange wedge and orange twist.
