Time 2h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups finely crushed pretzels
⅓ cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup dry milk powder
12 tablespoons salted butter, melted
3 cups white sugar
6 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 grapefruit, zested
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup grapefruit juice
¼ cup bitter orange aperitif (such as Campari®)
2 tablespoons gin
2 tablespoons red vermouth
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine crushed pretzels, brown sugar, and milk powder in a medium mixing bowl. Add butter to the bowl and toss to combine. Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk sugar, eggs, flour, and grapefruit zest together in a large bowl. Whisk in orange juice, grapefruit juice, orange aperitif, gin, and vermouth. Pour over the pretzel crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, 30 to 35 minutes. Cover with foil if filling starts browning too quickly. Cool completely on a wire rack, 20 to 30 minutes. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Pulse freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until finely ground. Use a fine-mesh strainer to dust strawberry powder over the filling. Cut into 24 bars and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out really dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover Negroni, but they're not my favorite dessert.

I love the idea of these bars, but I found that they were a bit too boozy for my taste.

These bars are really easy to make, but they didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overbaked them.

I found that these bars were a bit too dense. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not a huge fan of Negronis, but I really enjoyed these bars. They're a great way to enjoy the flavors of the cocktail without having to drink it.

These bars are the perfect make-ahead dessert. You can make them a day or two in advance and they'll still be delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of gin, but I really enjoyed these bars. The Campari and sweet vermouth balance out the gin flavor perfectly.

I love how these bars combine the flavors of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. They're the perfect balance of sweet and bitter.

These Negroni bars were a huge hit at my last party! They're so easy to make and they taste just like the classic cocktail.
