This wintry adaptation of a Negroni gets a deeper character and color from an amaro that’s heavier than the typical bright Campari, and the dusky richness of amontillado sherry. The burnt thyme adds a woodsy aroma, but can be an optional touch. At a winter pop-up in the Williamsburg restaurant Sunday in Brooklyn, where the drink is being served, it is called Ugly Sweater Weather. —Florence Fabricant

The classic Boulevardier cocktail, which substitutes rye whiskey or bourbon in place of gin, is another great "cold-weather Negroni."

Ana

1 oz of sherry

An orange twist works better if you want a wintery taste

Todd

Substituted Amaro angostura for St. Agrestis.

secret j

used 1 oz of amaro ciociaro, otherwise followed as written w/aviation gin and argüeso amontillado. the nuttiness and salinity of the sherry were a delightful counterpoint to the amaro, anchored by the herbaceous gin…even my Roman partner approved!
