How to Make: Stone Fruit Negroni
Created exclusively for Arcade, our Director of Bar Brands, Rich Woods, is sharing the recipe for his Stone Fruit Negroni as a special one-off - a warmer, fruit-led twist on the classic, layered with ripe stone fruit and a softer, rounded finish. Designed for slow sipping, it’s a considered take on a familiar favourite.
Of course, if you’d rather leave it to us, you can always enjoy one at Arcade Battersea Power Station or Tottenham Court Road.

What you’ll need
Ingredients prepped
25ml gin
25ml Campari
25ml sweet vermouth
10–15ml stone fruit liqueur or stone fruit syrup (peach/apricot works best)
Orange peel (to garnish)
Ice (large cubes preferred)
Equipment at the ready
Mixing glass (or any sturdy glass/jug)
Bar spoon (or teaspoon)
Jigger/measuring tool
Strainer (optional)
Rocks glass
Let's get cooking
- Chill your glass
Fill a rocks glass with ice while you build the drink (or chill it in the freezer for a few minutes).
- Build in a mixing glass
Add gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, and your stone fruit liqueur/syrup to a mixing glass filled with ice.
- Stir to dilute
Stir for 20-30 seconds until the drink is properly chilled and lightly diluted. (This is where the texture becomes silky.)
- Strain over fresh ice
Empty the ice from your rocks glass, add fresh ice (one large cube is ideal), then strain the cocktail into the glass.
Optional finesse
Garnish with an orange zest or cherry to top it off.
