Instructions

Eclipse Negroni is a visually captivating and flavor-rich cocktail that utilizes the advanced mixology technique of fat washing to integrate the rich, velvety texture of bacon into Campari, creating a sophisticated twist on the classic Negroni. This drink is served in a chilled old-fashioned glass, providing a multi-sensorial experience through its unique combination of flavors and aromas. **Ingredients:** - 1 oz Bacon-washed Campari - 1 oz Gin (Preferably a dry variety) - 1 oz Sweet vermouth - Ice cubes (for mixing) - Orange peel (for garnish) - A small strip of crispy bacon (for garnish) **Bacon-Washed Campari:** - 8 oz Campari - 1/4 cup rendered bacon fat **Instructions:** 1. **Prepare the Bacon-Washed Campari:** - In a wide-mouth jar, combine the Campari with the warm, liquid bacon fat (make sure it's not too hot). Stir to mix. - Allow the mixture to infuse at room temperature for 4-6 hours, then freeze it overnight. The fat will solidify on top. - Remove the solid fat, and strain the Campari through a coffee filter or cheesecloth to clear any remaining particles. Store the bacon-washed Campari in a clean bottle. 2. **Assemble the Eclipse Negroni:** - In a mixing glass filled with ice cubes, pour the bacon-washed Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth. - Stir well for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the mixture slightly. - Strain the mixture into a chilled old-fashioned glass over a single large ice cube (to minimize dilution). 3. **Garnish:** - Use a vegetable peeler or knife to cut a broad strip of orange peel; express (squeeze) the oils over the drink, then rim the glass with the peel to add a citrus aroma. - Gently place the orange peel in the drink. - Add a small, crispy strip of bacon as a garnish for an extra layer of aroma and flavor. **Serving Suggestion:** Serve the Eclipse Negroni immediately after preparation, ensuring the drink remains chilled and the aromatics are vibrant. The combination of bacon-infused Campari, the botanicals from the gin, and the sweet complexity of the vermouth create a sophisticated, balanced cocktail that's perfect for sipping on special occasions or after dinner. Enjoy the interplay of smoky, savory, sweet, and bitter flavors that make this drink truly unique.
