Hello, fellow cocktail enthusiasts! Today, I have a refreshing twist on a classic - a bubbly, balanced Negroni spritz recipe. This versatile little spritz is perfect for any occasion, any time of the year, from crowded brunch to quiet dinners in.
If you're hosting a group, this gorgeous spin on the classic Negroni can be prepped ahead of time and topped off with prosecco and sparkling water just before serving.

Negroni Spritz Ingredients
If you love a bitter cocktail, opt for a full ounce of Campari. If you're looking for something sweeter, swap out the Campari for Aperol.
I've been loving The Botanist dry gin lately, but reach for your personal favorite. Any mid-shelf dry gin will stand up great in this cocktail.
For a lighter, more refreshing, less boozy brunch option, skip the gin altogether and use a full ounce of Campari or Aperol.
- Campari (substitute with Aperol for a sweeter taste)
- dry gin
- sweet vermouth
- prosecco
- soda or sparkling water
- orange slice or twist (for garnish)

Negroni Spritz Instructions
- Combine ice, Campari, gin, and vermouth in a shaker or mixing glass. Stir the cocktail in the glass for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Strain in a glass over fresh ice.
- Top with prosecco and soda water.
- Garnish with an orange slice or twist.
- Serve and enjoy!
When mixing the Campari, gin, and vermouth, give it a good stir instead of shaking. This keeps the drink smooth and the flavors well-balanced.
Batch Instructions
- Multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need.
- Mix the Campari, gin, and vermouth in a large pitcher.
- Keep it covered and chilled until serving.
- When ready to serve, top each glass with prosecco and soda water, then garnish.
- This approach keeps the spritz refreshing and prevents the prosecco from losing its fizz.
