Negroni and the Goat

Negroni and the Goat is a cocktail that combines gin, equal amounts of sweet vermouth and Aperol, and Averna—a traditional herbal liqueur from Sicily. The ingredients are mixed with ice, and the combination is then strained into a cocktail glass.

This cocktail was created by Stephanie Izard at Nostrana in Portland, Oregon. The name is a reference to Girl & the Goat restaurant in Chicago, where Izard held the executive chef position. She invented it in 2014. This Negroni twist is traditionally served in a coupe glass, but some variations serve it in a Collins over ice.
