KopiO Coffee Negroni
Bitterness, sharpened.
The Negroni doesn’t need sweetness. It needs depth.
This variation uses KopiO® to replace part of the traditional structure, amplifying bitterness, adding roasted weight, and extending the finish. The result is darker, drier, and more deliberate than the classic.
KopiO reinforces that structure with roasted coffee notes, adding gravity without collapsing the drink into sugar.
