A negroni svegliato is a twist on a traditional negroni that adds espresso. This takes this bittersweet cocktail to an ever deeper flavor with a bit more bitterness. I really like cocktails with coffee or espresso, and wanted to try this one. It was interesting and definitely a deviation from a regular negroni. There is a nice punch of caffeine in this too which helps perk you up.
I would recommend a dry gin without too much extra herbal/floral notes as they will conflict a bit with the coffee flavor.
