Negroni Shakerato

Joe Campanale, Anfora | NYC

Not quite a riff on the Negroni, the Shakerato is simply a different treatment of the Negroni. Where the three-ingredient drink is a stirred cocktail, without exception, this version takes Campari, sweet vermouth and gin, and shakes them into an icy, pink froth. It’s then further turned on its head with the addition of a Castelvetrano olive garnish—a nod to the Italian Futurist art movement, which was often less about ingredients and more about expectations—or rather, the unexpected. 

  • 1 1/2 ounces gin
  • 1 1/4 ounces Campari
  • 1 1/4 ounces Contratto Rosso

Garnish: Castelvetrano olives

  1. Add all ingredients to a mixing glass, add ice and shake vigorously until ice begins to break into very small pieces.
