A Negroni cocktail contains equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, However, the Campari is a bitter and citrusy liquor that can easily overpower the gin.

To help ensure your gin doesn't get lost in its battle against the powerful Campari, opt for a gin that packs a stronger punch. Gin can range from floral delicate to spicy bold.

A strong juniper flavor will be assertive against the Campari and sweet vermouth without being overpowering, whereas you'd barely be able to taste a more floral gin in the drink.

Since Negroni is garnished with an orange peel, citrusy gins work well. London dry gin is a classic choice due to its bold juniper flavor, but Plymouth and Japanese gins work, too.
