Four Delicious Negroni Recipes For Father’s Day

By Melissa Lwee-Ramsay
June 10, 2016

In celebration of Negroni Week and the upcoming Father’s Day, we thought what better story to end the week than with four delicious Negroni recipes that we just know the dads out there would enjoy. While we love our traditional Negronis (equal parts Gin, Campari and Sweet Vermouth) but there’s no harm in shaking things up once in awhile. So we enlisted some help from the guys at the fantastic Manhattan Bar at Regent Singapore — they’re ranked 35th on the World’s 50 Best Bars 2015 list and 5th on the Asia’s Best Bars 2016 list so they certainly know their stuff — and got them to share four recipes for four very different types of dads. If you’re looking for something to impress dad this Father’s Day, we’re sure one of these drinks will do the trick.
