Enzoni

The Enzoni splits the difference between a gin sour and a Negroni: muddled green grapes lend juicy sweetness and a faint tannic grip that, played against fresh lemon, reads almost grapefruit-like and tames Campari's sharp bitterness. Equal parts gin and Campari, shaken and served over ice, it lands bright, bittersweet, and dangerously easy. Vincenzo Errico created it in the early 2000s, giving it its final shape at Sasha Petraske's Milk & Honey in New York.
