Notes

For a phony Negroni mocktail, swap juices like cranberry and pomegranate with a splash of orange soda.
For a bottled Negroni mocktail, batch larger portions and store chilled for up to 3 days.
Garnish ideas: rosemary sprig, grapefruit slice, or star anise for a seasonal twist.
Adjust sweetness by adding a dash of simple syrup or skipping it for a drier version.
