This low calorie version of a Negroni Cocktail Recipe is just 105 calories!
Instead of the heavy cocktail, we made a low calorie Negroni spritzer, it’s low calorie, low sugar, and packed with flavor!
By making it this way, I was able to cut the Negroni calories by half, and still deliver and delicious and refreshing low calorie cocktail.
Campari cocktails have been growing in popularity, but there’s no reason we can enjoy them in a low calorie way.

Low Calorie Tips for Making Campari and Gin Cocktails:
- Always make it a Spritzer: You can cut the calories in half by making it a spritzer! Try it out for yourself, and prolong the cocktail experience by refilling to the top with more club soda after you’ve enjoyed 1/2 your drink.
- Skip the Simple Syrup: Though not traditional in Negroni recipes, most cocktails call for simple syrup. But I’ve found a zero calorie all natural simple syrup that’s great in all your favorite cocktail recipes.Check it out in the recipe card below!
Common Questions on Making Negroni Campari Recipes:
Question: What’s the Best Gin for Negroni Cocktails?
Answer: When it comes to gin, we love Bombay Sapphire… though you could use any “middle shelf” Gin.
Question: Can you use vodka in place of gin in a Negroni recipe?
Answer: Though it will slightly change the flavor of the cocktail, yes you can. Many people who have elderberry allergies cannot have gin, so vodka is a good second option.

If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, don’t worry. All you need is a tall glass and a spoon to mix.
But you can get even simpler and just pour all the ingredients into your glass (the one you’re drinking from) and mix. Then top with ice and mix again.
