Canned Cocktail Review: Tip Top Proper Cocktails' Negroni

Posted by Jaime Fowler on

Review of Tip Top's Negroni canned cocktail by The Pursuit of Cocktails

Ummm... this is unexpected

This week is the last installment of my review of the Tip Top Proper Cocktails line. I tried their Old Fashioned first and it rocked my world. You can read my review of the Old Fashioned here. Then I tried their Manhattan and it was everything I'd hoped for. You can read that one here.

I accidentally saved the Negroni for last. I'm typically not a gin girl and I've only had one other Negroni in my life and it wasn't not my favorite. If I was thinking clearly, I should have started with the Negroni (my least favorite cocktail) and saved the Old Fashioned for last (my favorite cocktail) but I totally screwed up and did it in reverse. So when I say this Negroni was unexpected - yeah. Okay. This one totally deserves to be the last. While I'm super super sad to have consumed all of my Tip Top canned cocktails, I am kinda excited this was my last one.

Dig into my review below to hear why.

Here is my official review of Tip Top Proper Cocktails Negroni:

Five cocktail shakers 

Well crap! This little can just proved my theory wrong that I don't like Negronis. This cocktail was amazing despite being made of several of my least favorite cocktail flavors - dry gin and bitters. This cocktail is AMAZING.

As I was sipping, and I fully encourage you to sip these little cans because you don't want to guzzle this goodness without tasting it, I was trying to figure out what was so different about this Negroni from the one I had in the past and I settled on the gin. The one I had before had a more pine-y gin. This one is much smoother. The flavor is a little sweeter than I remember and all in all, it's such an easy drink to enjoy. 

Which brings me to my next point. You can not go wrong with ANY of the Tip Top cocktails. They are all superb. And I'm not just saying that because I'm still sipping my Tip Top Negroni. ;)

 

Sweetness

Two cocktail shakers
One shaker = not sweet at all  // Five shakers = your teeth may curl

While this is not a sweet drink over all, it is not nearly as dry as I expected it to be. Especially for a gin drink, this is a slightly sweet cocktail.

 

Booziness


Five cocktail shakers
One shaker = does this have booze? Five shakers = Four Lokos

Officially this one rings in 26% ABV or 52 proof. The highest ABV Four Lokos is 14% for the record so... be careful with this and all the Tip Top canned cocktails. They don't come to play. They are seriously strong drinks. Maybe I need to change my scale to have a five-cocktail-shakers drink as a Tip Top Cocktail.

Would I buy this ready to drink cocktail again?

    YES! Give me all the Tip Top Cocktails. I have yet to see these in stores near me but you can bet as soon as I do, I'll be hoarding them. And giving them as gifts to all of my friends.

    You can order this and all the other Tip Top canned cocktails online from Drizly and have them delivered right to your door. How convenient is that?!?!
