The Bandoeng’22 Pandan Negroni
The Negroni is one of the most famous aperitivo cocktails in the world, traditionally made with gin, sweet vermouth and Campari. Its bold balance of bitterness, sweetness and botanical flavours has made it a timeless classic in cocktail culture.

Why pandan works in Negroni cocktails
The classic Negroni is known for its bold bittersweet flavour profile. By adding pandan liqueur, the cocktail gains a fragrant aromatic layer that softens the bitterness of Campari and enhances the botanical notes of gin. The result is a Negroni variation that remains spirit-forward but introduces a subtle tropical character.
