Xanthan Gum Free Classic Strawberry Negroni

Few cocktails are as effortlessly sophisticated as a Negroni, and this strawberry twist takes that iconic bittersweet balance somewhere truly special. The homemade strawberry syrup is the star — just fresh berries, sugar, and water cooked down into a jewel-bright, deeply fragrant liquid that brings a natural sweetness to cut through the Campari's bold bitterness. Because the syrup is made entirely from scratch with whole ingredients, there's no need to reach for store-bought flavored syrups that often sneak in thickeners or stabilizers you'd rather avoid. Everything in this drink is clean and straightforward: gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, and that gorgeous berry syrup, stirred long and cold over big ice until perfectly chilled and slightly silky. The orange peel twist at the end adds a bright citrus note that ties the whole glass together beautifully. It's the kind of cocktail that looks like it came from a serious bar program but comes together in your own kitchen with minimal effort and maximum payoff.
