The classic negroni is a refreshing aperitif made from equal parts dry gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. We’ve fashioned a sophisticated, effervescent version where we use a sweeter gin and replace the vermouth with the richer but dryer Punt e Mes. Our version also includes Byrrh, a red wine and quinine aperitif, which adds some bitter and floral notes. Hence the celebrity mashup naming stylings of the “Byrrhgroni”—a cocktail with a bitter, carbonated twist. Pour all of the ingredients except for the lemon peel into the siphon. Add ice, and charge the siphon with two CO2 cartridges: the first charge rids the siphon of air, and the second fully carbonates the cocktail. Swirl the chamber until the contents are super cold. Pour into a chilled glass, and add a lemon twist to elevate the citrus notes.
