What is a Flavour Blaster Aroma Gun?


For the uninitiated, the Flavour Blaster Aroma Gun is a handheld device that creates scented bubbles filled with aroma, which rest on top of cocktails and when burst, releases tantalising scents. Used by bartenders around the globe, it has revolutionised how we experience cocktails by adding a new dimension: the power of scent.

When combined with a Negroni, a drink renowned for its bitter and bold flavours, the right aroma pairing can truly take it to another level.

The Classic Negroni: A Bold Base for Aromas

The traditional Negroni is composed of equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Its signature bitterness from Campari is perfectly balanced by the botanical notes of gin and the sweetness of vermouth. This makes it a fantastic base for experimenting with different aromatic profiles, as each element can either complement or contrast the drink's inherent flavours.

Top Flavour Blaster Aromas for Your Negroni

Here are some of the best Flavour Blaster aroma pairings to enhance your Negroni experience, turning it into a multi-sensory celebration for Negroni Week:

---

1. Citrus Twist: Zesty and Refreshing
Pairing: Citrus, Bergamot, or Lemongrass

Citrus is a natural companion for a Negroni, with orange traditionally used as a garnish. Enhancing the drink with a bubble filled with the fresh scent of citrus zest or bergamot provides a heightened refreshing quality with every sip. The burst of citrus aroma cuts through the bitterness and adds brightness to the drink.

Perfect for: Drinkers who enjoy a zesty, clean finish with a burst of freshness.


---

 2. Herbal Haven: Fresh and Earthy
Pairing: Rosemary or Truffle

Negronis already boast a complex flavour profile thanks to the botanicals in gin, and adding herbal aromas like rosemary or truffle complements these flavours beautifully. These earthy, green notes highlight the bitter elements of the Campari while adding a fresh dimension to the overall cocktail experience.

Perfect for: Those who appreciate herbal complexity and want to highlight the Negroni’s botanical base.

---

3. Floral Fantasy: Delicate and Fragrant
Pairing: Lavender


Adding a floral touch to a Negroni might seem unconventional, but the result is surprisingly elegant. A lavender bubble softens the drink’s bitterness with delicate, perfumed notes. These aromas create a unique contrast with the bitterness of Campari, giving your Negroni a more refined, fragrant twist.

Perfect for: Cocktail lovers who enjoy a lighter, more aromatic experience that contrasts the drink’s bold flavours.

---

4. Smoky Sensation: Dark and Mysterious
Pairing: Smoke

For those looking for a deeper, more robust experience, our smoke aroma adds a rich, dark layer to the Negroni. As the bubble bursts, the smoke aroma interacts with the bitter-sweet balance of the cocktail, creating a sophisticated, autumnal feel. This pairing is perfect for the cooler evenings of Negroni Week, offering warmth and complexity.

Perfect for: Fans of rich, smoky flavours who enjoy adding depth to their cocktail experience.

---

5. Spiced Adventure: Warm and Inviting
Pairing: Cinnamon, Ginger or Nutmeg

Spiced aromas like cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg add a cosy warmth to your Negroni, perfect for pairing with the slightly sweet vermouth. The gentle spice contrasts beautifully with the bitterness of the Campari, creating a well-rounded, multi-layered drinking experience that feels both comforting and exciting.

Perfect for: Drinkers who enjoy bold, warm flavours with a hint of spice to balance the bitter notes.
