Enzoni

Description

What it is: A modern gin-and-Campari sour softened by muddled fresh green grapes, lemon and sugar.

The story: Vincenzo Errico created the Enzoni at Match Bar in London in 2001. It is often described as sitting between a Negroni and a gin sour: Campari supplies the bitter spine while fresh grapes bring a soft, juicy sweetness.

Why it works: The grapes are more than decoration. Muddling them adds fresh fruit, texture and enough natural sweetness to round Campari’s bitterness without hiding it.
