Negroni Cocktail
The Negroni cocktail is a classic cocktail originating in Florence, Italy. Made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari.
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 ounce London dry gin I like Bar Hill Gin, Plymouth Gin, and The Botanist Islay Dry Gin
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth Dolin, Noily Pratt, Carpano Antica
- 1 ounce Campari
- orange peel garnish
- 2 dashes orange bitters not classic but optional
Instructions
- In a mixing glass, combine gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, and optional bitters. Add ice and stir vigorously.
- Strain into a chilled double old-fashioned glass over fresh ice.
- Squeeze orange peel over the glass to extract oils (you'll see the oils float on the surface of the drink if done properly), wipe the rim of the glass with the peel and garnish.
Notes
For a bourbon twist try the Boulevardier. Can also be made with mezcal for a Mezcal Negroni using the same ratios.
Chill your glasses ahead of time in the freezer to keep your drinks cooler for longer. This is one of my favorite tricks in the summer.
Always pour cocktails over fresh ice after mixing (preferably a giant ice cube). This ensures your ice cubes are fresh and won't melt as quickly, diluting your cocktail.
