Porter’s Gin
Sweet Vermouth
Italian Bitter Aperitif
The Negroni was invented by Count Camillo Negroni in 1919. While at Bar Casoni in Florence, he demanded that the bartender strengthen his favorite cocktail, the Americano, by replacing the usual soda water with gin. As bitter as it is sweet, it is a classic stirred down sipping drink, perfect both as an aperitif or digestif.
Our negroni stays true to the classic recipe, proportioned precisely to be exactly one serve, including the dilution that you would get if you were in a proper cocktail bar.
Best served ice cold, either straight from the can, or served in a rocks glass over quality ice with an orange peel garnish.

A subtle nose with wood aroma characteristics shining through. Herbal flavour on the palate combining with botanicals and pine characteristics, into a full-bodied palate with lingering sweetness balancing with the bitterness. A lovely bittersweet character with a good amount of gin.
A tiny tin, pocket-sized indeed, but one which contains a delicious ready mixed negroni, made with Porter’s gin, a bitter aperitif and sweet vermouth. Punchy at over 20% abv, it’s an intense and well-made alternative to making your own.
Best Negroni
Is this not the cutest canned cocktail you’ve ever laid eyes on? There’s a good reason why it’s so dinky, and it’s not just so it fits in your pocket — at 21.8% ABV, it packs a hella punch! Made with Porter’s bitter, Campari and sweet vermouth, it tastes just like a boozy blood orange.
BEST NEGRONI IN A CAN
The post-work negroni is one of life’s great pleasures. And as cocktails go, it’s not the most complicated, with just three ingredients — but you try combining gin, vermouth and Campari in the park. This ready-to-drink can has done it for you, delivering an expertly made full-strength single-serve for on the go.
You’ll no doubt have seen this little pocket rocket clogging up your Instagram feed (or annoyingly littering your local park), and there’s a reason it’s taken us al fresco drinkers by storm. It’s dinky but full-strength (so go steady), and is made with Porter’s cold-distilled gin, Campari and vermouth — just like you’d make at home.
The only canned cocktail I have tried that unequivocally tastes of the drink it purports to be. Cute can, too. I commend its creators.
