The New Home Negroni – Charles Deetz’s Sophisticated Housewarming Cocktail
In the quirky and darkly comedic world of “Beetlejuice,” Charles Deetz stands out as the somewhat frazzled but well-meaning father who moves his family into a new home, unaware of its ghostly inhabitants. With the same sense of adventure but a craving for a quieter life, we’ve designed a cocktail that embodies Charles’s character: The New Home Negroni.
The Experience
Just like Charles Deetz, this New Home Negroni is complex yet approachable. The gin serves as a strong foundation, representing the stability Charles seeks in his new home. The Campari adds a layer of complexity and a touch of bitterness, symbolizing the challenges that come with a fresh start. Sweet vermouth softens the edges, adding a hint of optimism. Finally, the orange peel garnish adds a zesty kick, reminding us that every new beginning comes with its own set of surprises.

It encapsulates Charles Deetz’s character journey in “Beetlejuice,” from his initial excitement about a new home to the complex reality of his situation. The cocktail’s balanced flavors make it a perfect choice for those who appreciate the nuances of life’s new chapters, much like Charles himself.
