Bitter and Sweet at the same time, the Negroni is, at initial greeting, a fairly polarizing drink.
The appearance itself suggests candy; the cherry color of Campari mixed with the deep russets of sweet vermouth combine to a rich crimson familiar in candy. This may be the stumbling block for those tasting it for the first time. Our brain processes the color as artificially sweet, and so we expect a saccharine experience as we bring it to our lips. Even the aroma is floral and does not betray the botanical bitterness.
The first taste, however, is the opposite of what our instincts were telling us. Dry and bitter, the senses revolt and the vast majority of first drinks come away with a disgruntled yuck!
