This Fauxgroni recipe vexed me for months before I was able to nail the bittersweet balance in the classic cocktail, the Negroni. Though it’s possible to make a spiritfree syrup that resembles Campari, it’s pretty labor intensive and, quite frankly, not as good as Sanbitter soda, a bottled nonalcoholic version of Campari soda by Pellegrino you can find in Italian specialty stores or order online. Lyre’s Dry London Spirit adds body here and botanical balance with a baseline of juniper, notes of orange blossom and citrus zest. It’s the magic of currant syrup that delivers the juicy herbaceous notes similar to sweet vermouth—fruity but distinctly aromatic. In glorious garnet hue, the Fauxgroni tips her hat to her spirited cousin.
