Storage for the Classic Negroni Cocktail

The Classic Negroni Cocktail is a party favourite for any holiday or special occasion. This classic cocktail features gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, making it a delicious choice for any celebration. But when it comes to storage of the cocktail, how long can you store it? While mixology experts suggest that some cocktails have longer shelf lives than others, the general consensus on the Classic Negroni Cocktail is that it should be enjoyed in the moment. As alcoholic ingredients are involved in the recipe, they will start to break down after time and lose their freshness and potency-so it’s best to consume soon after making.
