Negroni
This Negroni recipe delivers the perfect bitter-sweet harmony in under five minutes—a classic Italian cocktail with equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth.
Ingredients
- 1 oz London dry gin (e.g., Beefeater, Bombay Sapphire)
- 1 oz Campari
- 1 oz sweet vermouth (Carpano Antica or Cinzano Rosso)
- Ice cubes (large cubes chill without diluting too fast)
- Orange peel or slice, for garnish
- 1 dash aromatic bitters (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a mixing glass with ice cubes to chill. (You’ll know it’s ready when the glass frosts.)
- Pour in 1 oz gin, 1 oz Campari, and 1 oz sweet vermouth. If desired, add a dash of aromatic bitters.
- Stir gently for about 20–30 seconds to ensure proper dilution and a silky texture.
- Strain into a rocks glass over a single large ice cube. Garnish with an orange peel or slice.
- Pause, take in the ruby glow and aromatic citrus burst, then sip and enjoy. Cheers!
Notes
Gin with citrus-forward botanicals adds extra zing to this cocktail. Choose a richer vermouth for deeper color and flavor. Taste your vermouth before mixing, as brands vary in sweetness.
