Negroni Week 2024 embraces diverse drinking cultures by introducing the Wugroni as its 7th Negroni variant. This new creation swaps gin for baijiu, marking the first Negroni variant to use this spirit. Named after the five (“Wu”) cereal grains used in baijiu’s distillation, the Wugroni consists of 20ml baijiu, 40ml Campari, and 40ml sweet vermouth, finished with orange peel for an oriental twist. It joins other variations like the Mezcal-based Oaxacan Negroni, the Rye Whisky Old Pal, and the Sparkling Wine Sbagliato.
