Cravan : Negroni

Characteristics and tasting tips for Cravan's Negroni

Tasting

Nose
Precise, the nose reveals delicate citrus notes conferred by the bitter and the gin.

Palate
The palate seduces with its ideal balance between the juniper of the gin, the orange notes of the bitter and the aromatic intensity of the vermouth. This drier and more bitter version than a classic negroni stands out with its clean and lively finish, enhanced by the freshness of the citrus.

Pairings and tasting moments

Ideal for the aperitif, Cravan's Negroni is enjoyed neat, very chilled at 3°C, without adding ice cubes. It is recommended to chill the glasses before serving and to serve portions of 8 to 10 cl, allowing for 5 to 6 glasses per 50cl bottle. This product is made without aromas, without colorants, without preservatives, without additives and without added sugars. Once opened, it should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within 30 days.

A Parisian cocktail revisited with elegance and balance

Cravan, the excellence of Parisian mixology

Inaugurated in June 2023 by Moët Hennessy (LVMH) in partnership with Franck Audoux, restaurateur and French cocktail expert, Cravan stands as the largest cocktail bar in Paris. Located at 165 boulevard Saint-Germain in a 17th-century building, the establishment spans four floors housing three distinct bars, designed by designer Ramy Fischler. The name pays tribute to Arthur Cravan, poet-boxer and precursor of Dadaism. Owned by Moët Hennessy, led by Philippe Schaus and Franck Audoux as Artistic Director, Cravan develops a cultural and historical approach to the French cocktail, enriched by a Rizzoli NY bookstore and a range of bottled cocktails produced with the Alsatian Distillery Nusbaumer.

The Negroni, a contemporary interpretation of a great classic

Cravan's Negroni represents a bold reinterpretation of this iconic Italian cocktail. This version is distinguished by the use of a London Dry Gin created exclusively for and by Maison Cravan, guaranteeing a unique aromatic signature. The originality of this recipe lies in the addition of a part of dry vermouth in equal parts with the gin, while preserving the structure of the original cocktail. This technical modification brings more dryness and bitterness, creating a lighter and more taut profile than the traditional negroni. Made without aromas, colorants, preservatives, additives or added sugars, this Negroni embodies Franck Audoux's refined and scientific approach. This ready-to-serve cocktail reflects the Maison's philosophy: clean, balanced creations without frills, designed to enhance the tasting experience.
