NOgroni

The NOgroni is an alcohol-free drink: 3 ingredients in equal parts, stirred in a mixing glass and served in a rocks glass. That makes 110 ml in the glass: a middling measure.

Ingredients

• 30 mlnon-alcoholic gin
• 30 mlnon-alcoholic aperitif
• 30 mlnon-alcoholic red bitter

Method

1. Pour the three ingredients into a mixing glass with ice.
2. Stir and strain into an old-fashioned glass, ideally over one large cube.

Garnish: Garnish with an orange zest twist.

What it tastes like

bitter → sweet

Bitterness leads: 3.1 out of 10, carried by non-alcoholic red bitter. That makes it the 6th most bitter of 186.

round → sour

It tends round: 159th of 186 for acidity, and what little acid there is comes from non-alcoholic aperitif.

light → strong

No alcohol to speak of: 110 ml in the glass and under one degree, so it sits at the bottom of the axis with the other alcohol-free drinks.

Its closest neighbour is the Americano: 91 out of 100 for similarity.
