Hey folks! After months since I made dozens of Enzonis since I learned this recipe here, I had a idea and decided to try a variant using fresh cherries (not the canned ones!), instead of grapes. I removed the stems and seeds from 5 charries and muddled them same recipe. I think it turned out nice!
What type of cherry? I'm looking at my neighbors montmorency (red sour for processing) tree out my window. Here in MI, by next week it'll be ready for harvest!
I might have used way too sweet grapes as mine was a tad too sweet for my taste (and I have a sweet tooth!). I used Gordon's. I even used "American" yellow lemons (and not what we Peruvians call lemons, which you call limes). I'll make another one without the syrup.
I just happened to have all of the ingredients for this one so I made it right away. LOVE IT! I'm a huge Negroni and Campari fan so this was in my zone. Thanks Steve!
I made a few of these, and they were delicious. Then, I got to thinking about some Grenadine I had. I substituted Grenadine for the simple syrup, and now it's my favorite incarnation. I call it the Grenzoni. Wifey commented on how dangerously drinkable it was. :)
We’ve been making the same old cocktails year after year and your recipe for new and exciting cocktails has brought light into our humdrum lives. Thank you 🙏 ❤❤
Love this! I've never used grapes in a cocktail before and they are a very welcome addition!! Even if you aren't a Campari fan, give this a go and comment with your thoughts below.. enjoy! - BUY THE BACKBAR: bit.ly/buy-a-bottle - SUPPORT MY CHANNEL: bit.ly/stb-patreon - DOWNLOAD COCKTAIL APP: bit.ly/get-cocktails-app
I really love this cocktail. I also love a Negroni. It's nice to have so much variation for the sake of complimentary cocktails. This is a bright version of a dark drink. I enjoy it with any grapes I have on hand; my wife buys them sometimes, so I always make a few while they're there. Always have the other ingredients at the ready. On another note, I believe I've adopted some of your techniques as far as building and shaking. I like the little flip and shake. That's about as much flair as I'm comfortable with, and that's pushing it. Thank you for your awesome videos.
This is one of my all time favorites as well! If you like this one, you should also try Sam Ross' cocktail the 'Too Soon?' which is the same template, but with Cynar and orange slices instead of Campari and grapes: Too Soon? 1 oz Gin 1 oz Cynar 3/4 oz lemon juice 1/2 oz simple syrup 2 thin orange slices Add orange slices to tin, add all other ingredients, add ice, shake & strain. I love them both, and think it's a great template for amaro-based sours. It makes sense really that the best way to get a Negroni-like experience from a sour is to split the base-spirit with your amaro, since a Negroni is just a split-base version of a Martini/Manhattan template when you get down to it (as pointed out in the Death & Co. book the 'Cocktail Codex').
Great suggestion! Made this one tonight and it was delicious 👍 Only had Cynar 70 but could tell that regular Cynar would have been better...less bite and more of the vegital flavor would come through
Steve, I'm sure I speak for many when I say one of my favorite parts of your videos is when you are shaking the cocktail, smile, then look at the camera smiling. Sadly you haven't been doing this lately. I love the rest of your videos too, but I always look for the shaking smile and haven't been seeing it
Made this tonight, finished it quickly, and had to make another immediately! Best Campari cocktail I’ve had by a wide margin. Campari is growing on me, but I’m not a huge fan of vermouth, so this is perfect.
@@StevetheBartender_ I was out of grapes so I tried strawberries indeed. Here in northern Europe we have sweetest and best berries anyway😉. It turned out very very good!
Just made this following your recipe to the letter. It’s so refreshingly delicious! Somehow the muddled grapes combine with the Campari and lemon juice to make it almost taste like grapefruit! Thanks for sharing. I think I found my summer drink!!
Drinking one of these right now, just a little lighter on the campari. Still easing into campari, it grows on me 😁 keep it up Steve, you really make the best bar tending videos 😁
So I absolutely hate Campari, but my father loves it. So when I saw this video I thought I'd make if for him because it looked interesting... OMG I fell in love with it! Can't believe I actually enjoyed a cocktail with Campari! Thank you so much!
I rushed out to the store to buy some grapes to try this delicious sounding recipe. I then had far too many grapes in my fridge...I'm on enzoni #4 this week!
Steve, I do love my Negroni's and wanted to make an Enzoni with everything on hand except the grapes, I did however have some fresh Raspberries and so swapped these 2 ingredients around, 8 Raspberries, muddled and I have so say it's a great variant. It's a scarily easy drinking cocktail, sweet, bitter and acidity all nicely balanced, I might drop the simple syrup to 15 ml next time - in a few minutes time, it's so good I'll have another...
I had no more grapes, replaced them with 1/2 onze (15ml) pineapple juice and it made the trick! I call it the Pinezoni (or whatever you feel like it should be called) Cheers from Canada! (Also Aperol instead of Campari, do what you gotta do to drink!)
This is perfect with a citrus forward gin like Roku for example. I always say most people who don't enjoy Gin probably just need to try it in the right cocktail😋
I thought I would never be able to use my bottle of Campari after having made the typical famous Campari-cocktails and not really liking a single one of them. That is until I discovered this video. This one changes the game, me and my buddy loved it. Thanks a bunch, Steve.
@pocketjohnson Not even! I think it's a rather acquired taste and I'm not too familiar with the bitter palette when it comes to cocktails. Small steps though.
This video was the thing that motivated me to actually get the stuff at home to make cocktails. Granted; the recomendation against going to places were there were other people added some extra motivation.
I tried this with strawberry substitute however it couldn’t even half full my old fashioned glass 😮 the taste was good. It starts with a bitter sourry flavor and the sweetness kicks in afterwards.
Made a cocktail somewhat similar that's my new favorite: The Minerva: 2 oz gin 1 oz sweet vermouth 1/2 oz lemon juice 1/4-1/2 oz honey simple syrup (depending on how sweet you like it) 1 oz plum juice Optional SMALL dash cardamom bitters Shake over ice, double strain into a coupe. Enjoy.
Love my negronis and a good sour so I had to make this variant. I do love it too but then I thought why not swap the grapes for raspberries to bring a little more acidity to the party - I used 6 mid to large sized raspberries and I must say the Frambroni isn't too shabby either. Maybe even better as a gateway to Campari loving.
@@StevetheBartender_ Wow!!! I was expecting more of the bitter notes but it is superbly well balanced! I'm definitely adding this to my cocktail list. I'm now scouring through your campari videos for other recipes!
Friday Night Cocktails Tradition included this tonight...Our first try with Campari and we really enjoyed this...a nice blend of sweet/sour/bitter. And we used green grapes :) Tried the Campari on its own and not as bitter as I expected..something I would enjoy on its own as an apertif or a digestif. I am looking forward to a Paloma...tequila and grapefruit are flavours I love! Thanks Steve...from NB, Canada (on the East Coast)
This looks like it could be good. I tried making Negronis a few years ago for my father in law. He loved them, I couldn't stand them and no matter what ratios I did I just didn't enjoy it and I blamed the Campari. I gave the bottle to my father in-law. I like making Aperol spritzes, so I know I don't mind something bitter. I might need to find a small bottle of Campari and give it a go again.
Made 2 versions of this, the listed one and the second one was with 1/2 oz of Campari instead of 1 oz. Definitely preferred the second version (less bitter).
Awesome vid again Steve I'm Just building my reserve I have around 8 bottles at the moment be it is increasing every week. Really love your Midori video too. I have a variation of the midori Illusion where I use a fresh passion fruit and a dash of blue bols.
So I’ve worked in the Milk and Honey family of bars. There’s a small season for Concord grapes but if you can make this drink with those it’s amazing. Muh, it’s definitely worth it. Cheers
I love this cocktail. However, this summer I have discovered a modification that will knock your socks off. I live in Michigan, the cherry capital of the US. Tart cherries are the best, but close are sweet cherries, picked that morning, bought at a roadside stand in afternoon, and eaten before you get home in evening. Take six pitted black sweet cherries, muddle in glass, add 4cl gin (not too dry, not too floral), 4cl Campari, 3cl lime juice, and 2cl simple syrup. Shake with ice and double strain into chilled glass with two large ice cubes. Garnish with fresh cherry centered on lime wedge. The drink is a bright red, with cherry nose and slight floral notes combined with a well balanced sweetness and tart/bitterness from lime and Campari. I call it the Enzoroz. If you can find fresh sweet cherries, you must try this (do not use imported store bought, or frozen). If you are able, please make and let me know what you think. And yes I am an American that appreciates the metric system.

Maybe add a barspoon or two of maraschino liqueur too? that could be lovely
O-K.
What type of cherry? I'm looking at my neighbors montmorency (red sour for processing) tree out my window. Here in MI, by next week it'll be ready for harvest!
@@fonz-ys6xuI have the same question. I have that same cherry tree in my yard.
The genuine reaction is always a plus.
That's one of the reasons I like to try drinks on the channel rather than make it and tweak it... then film it :)
The Enzoni is one my favorites!
Yeah, mine too now! Saw it on your channel aggggges ago and it’s been on my list for a while..
How is the taste like
@@abhisheklimbu9881 bitter
@@GavinSideways bitter-ish i would say... it's bitter, sweet and sour at the same time, it's delicious!

Honestly though, when he turns and gives the side smile while shaking the drink it sends shivers down my spine. So handsome.
Tried this for the first time today. Rocked straight into my top 3 cocktails!
I laughed when you tossed the garnish over your shoulder
There was no way it was going to balance on the ice cube... I should have skewered them!
@@StevetheBartender_ You know, you could have EATEN the grape.
HOnestly I think we all did
Grizz Axxemann I think he panicked XD

Legend! Thanks for the recipe - definitely keen to try this one soon 👌

Only had Cynar 70 but could tell that regular Cynar would have been better...less bite and more of the vegital flavor would come through
I don't even make cocktails at home. It is kind of relaxing seeing you do the thing you do man! keep doing what you enjoy!

Been making this ever since - it's my favourite and it's sooo good

I really liked this one. Yesterday I couldn't find grapes and I tried same recipe but with blue berries. Excellent!
Nice one! I think grapes elevate the drink although blueberries would still work nicely 👌
@@StevetheBartender_ I was out of grapes so I tried strawberries indeed. Here in northern Europe we have sweetest and best berries anyway😉. It turned out very very good!
Excellent; my wife and I both give a big thumbs up. And for those who aren’t in love with Campari, give this a try.
Just made this following your recipe to the letter. It’s so refreshingly delicious! Somehow the muddled grapes combine with the Campari and lemon juice to make it almost taste like grapefruit! Thanks for sharing. I think I found my summer drink!!
I’m glad you loved it too! Grapes work remarkably well 👌
Just made this for the first time, really tasty and a great drink for warmer weather, refreshing. 👍🏼
Made three of these tonight. Tried 4, 5, and 6 grapes. 6 was the winner in my opinion! Incredible drink
Bought a muddler and fine strainer to make this drink. Had one almost every night for the last week. It is my new favorite summer drink. Thanks man!
📚 I wrote a cocktail book! bit.ly/STB-cocktail-guide
Just made it and tasted it along side your review. Spot on. Bitterness is there, but not front and center. Very well balanced.
Love it. The combination of sweet and bitter ist amazing.
Drinking one of these right now, just a little lighter on the campari. Still easing into campari, it grows on me 😁 keep it up Steve, you really make the best bar tending videos 😁
It is fun to watch you shake the drink and then suddenly turning to the camera and smiling ... it is priceless :D

Most welcome Cinthia! It’s definitely the perfect cocktail for non-Campari drinkers... it will start to grow on you more and more now 😉
I rushed out to the store to buy some grapes to try this delicious sounding recipe. I then had far too many grapes in my fridge...I'm on enzoni #4 this week!
He’s always fun to watch, but did he appear to be a different type of fun today?!? Have a few drinks before this one?
haha came here to say the same thing. I agree with you. Steve?
I was thinking that too
This drink is awesome, thanks! I also tried with red grapes and Aperol instead of Campari and this worked really well too, super refreshing.
Ohhh I like this cocktail! I am going to try one this week! Thanks!
It’s a winner!!

Adds grapes to the grocery list. Going to be making this during the week, thank you!
You'll love it!!
Kinda' bizarre how the grape and Campari come together so well. Perfect balance on this one. Thanks!
Always smile for the camera! This is your thing!
This drink is AMAZING!
So good hey!!
Made it today and I love it! (Also with red grapes).
Nice work Emily! 🙌
Had some fresh grapes so I decided to make this. It really is a great drink
This is a delicious cocktail.
It’s 38 degrees here today and I just made it.
It’s like a summertime negroni. An instant fav!
Since I last commented your channel has blown up. Mate I'm so happy for you!!
Beautiful colour Steve need to deffo give it ago
Hope you enjoy this one!
Tried this last night and tonight. Never used grapes in a cocktail. I was surprised how good the cocktail was.
I had no more grapes, replaced them with 1/2 onze (15ml) pineapple juice and it made the trick! I call it the Pinezoni (or whatever you feel like it should be called)
Cheers from Canada!
(Also Aperol instead of Campari, do what you gotta do to drink!)
Love this. Made one with homegrown pomegranate and sudachi instead of grapes and lemon, and it was also lovely.
Thanks for taking a sip and describing the flavor and balances of ingredients! Helps me out to deciding to make the same!
Okay... never been a fan of GIN. Until now. Made this tonight...could be my new favorite drink!
This is perfect with a citrus forward gin like Roku for example. I always say most people who don't enjoy Gin probably just need to try it in the right cocktail😋

Finally made this last night (used green grapes). Oh my my.... One of the best Negroni variations I've ever had.
It’s damn good hey!! 🙌
@@StevetheBartender_ too good, drinks too fast!

This video was the thing that motivated me to actually get the stuff at home to make cocktails. Granted; the recomendation against going to places were there were other people added some extra motivation.
That one grew on me with every sip - ended up tasting much like pink grapefruit juice at the end. Very nice.
This drink is awesome. I used red grape juice instead of fresh grapes. Sooooo good if you like the bitter Campari and gin. Very refreshing.
Steve , you incredible
Merry Christmas!
I tried this with strawberry substitute however it couldn’t even half full my old fashioned glass 😮 the taste was good. It starts with a bitter sourry flavor and the sweetness kicks in afterwards.
Steve that is brilliant....you sir are the man!!!
Love it that you have the Wray & Nephew in the background Mate. I am Jamaican, so that’s representing
Rum punch aint the same w/o it!!!
Made a cocktail somewhat similar that's my new favorite:
The Minerva:
2 oz gin
1 oz sweet vermouth
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/4-1/2 oz honey simple syrup (depending on how sweet you like it)
1 oz plum juice
Optional SMALL dash cardamom bitters
Shake over ice, double strain into a coupe. Enjoy.
2 hours ... is the total time I’ve spend binge watching your vids
Rookie numbers!! Gotta pump those up
Oooh, this looks really good. I may have to make one this weekend.
It’s a winner!
I just love this cocktail!!! It’s become one of my regular favorite!!! Thank you Steve!
Such a great way to easy people into Campari! I know Steve said it, but I've always recommended it.
Just tried. Excellent.
Just made one, our new baby is called Enzo so very fitting! Thanks buddy! ❤
Always wanted to try Campari so now I will!
This cocktail and the Jungle Bird are great intros to Campari

Found this cocktail for Friday night, not a big Campari fan but it was delicious, it’s going on the favourites list
Quite nice kind of drink, sweet, tart and a bit bitter, but lessened considerably than other Campari drinks, recommend trying it.
My mom is a former bar tender, i found her drink making set, im now learning how to bar tend, and this is the next drink im gonna make.
Just bought my first ever Campari just to try. I'm making this tonight!!!
I’m keen to hear how it went!
@@StevetheBartender_ Wow!!! I was expecting more of the bitter notes but it is superbly well balanced! I'm definitely adding this to my cocktail list. I'm now scouring through your campari videos for other recipes!

Late to the party, but this was delicious. It would be really interesting to try this with Gewurztraminer grapes.

Made it this evening. So good!
Delicious isn’t it! 👍
Made this tonight.. and ended up making it quite a few times.. now I need some more Campari!
Drinking the cocktail now! Delicious!
Outstanding drink!
Just made one. This thing is delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Just made this and yup, my new fav cocktail. Gonna try the fall enzoni next. Thanks for the video, Steve.
Made 2 versions of this, the listed one and the second one was with 1/2 oz of Campari instead of 1 oz. Definitely preferred the second version (less bitter).
Just took a look after a buddy recommended your channel. Damn...you're good! (So are the cocktails). Don't stop! And I love Negroni's
Awesome vid again Steve I'm Just building my reserve I have around 8 bottles at the moment be it is increasing every week. Really love your Midori video too. I have a variation of the midori Illusion where I use a fresh passion fruit and a dash of blue bols.
It's an amazing drink, especially with 2 oz of gin and 1 oz simple syrup.
This is an awesome drink. Thank you
Had a guy make me one tonight. Now that is smooth yet loaded.
Wasn't fond of this drink, first. But it's grown on me, today it's a top 5.
Have to try this out tomorrow!
So I’ve worked in the Milk and Honey family of bars. There’s a small season for Concord grapes but if you can make this drink with those it’s amazing. Muh, it’s definitely worth it. Cheers
I love this cocktail. However, this summer I have discovered a modification that will knock your socks off.
I live in Michigan, the cherry capital of the US. Tart cherries are the best, but close are sweet cherries, picked that morning, bought at a roadside stand in afternoon, and eaten before you get home in evening.
Take six pitted black sweet cherries, muddle in glass, add 4cl gin (not too dry, not too floral), 4cl Campari, 3cl lime juice, and 2cl simple syrup. Shake with ice and double strain into chilled glass with two large ice cubes. Garnish with fresh cherry centered on lime wedge.
The drink is a bright red, with cherry nose and slight floral notes combined with a well balanced sweetness and tart/bitterness from lime and Campari.
I call it the Enzoroz.
If you can find fresh sweet cherries, you must try this (do not use imported store bought, or frozen). If you are able, please make and let me know what you think.
And yes I am an American that appreciates the metric system.
Didn't have grapes on hand, but substituted with really ripe and sweet Raspberries. Very delish
That sounds awesome! Actually have raspberries on hand so I'll be trying that for sure!
Perfect drink , thanks Steve 👍👍
Great recipe from Vincenzo D’Errico!!
My absolute favorite this summer, I make it with vineyard peach. works really good as well!
I made one the other night and it is SO badass!!! Thanks for the video.
