A riff on the 3-ingredient formula of a Negroni, Franck uses Campari for its incomparable bitterness, Noilly Prat dry vermouth for a little oaky flavor, and Punt e Mes Italian vermouth, which falls largely in the herbaceous camp with a sly amount of bitter, too. Another dry vermouth can be used in place of the Noilly Prat, and for the Punt e Mes, another sweet red vermouth could fill in.

Bourbon and apricot are a well-established match, and everybody who drinks Manhattan's will recognise how well sweet vermouth and bitters work with bourbon. Hence, it's perhaps not surprising that this spirit-forward cocktail is delicious.
I used Campari, Punt e Mes (sweet vermouth) and Citadel gin for the batch I aged. But when I was at a local liquor store, the woman showed me some variations on these, such as a bitters made by Dolin that is a bit more subtle than Campari. So feel free to use brands that you like. Negronis don’t need aging – if you wish, just mix one up in a glass, and enjoy.
