A Negroni is made by mixing equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Typically, 1 ounce of each is added to a mixing glass filled with ice. The mixture is stirred until well chilled, then strained into a rocks glass filled with ice. The cocktail is garnished with a strip or slice of orange peel or an orange slice.
Ingredients
- 1 oz (30 ml) gin (London dry gin recommended)
- 1 oz (30 ml) Campari
- 1 oz (30 ml) sweet vermouth
- Orange peel or slice for garnish
- Ice
Instructions
- Fill a mixing glass about 3/4 full with ice.
- Add the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth (all in equal parts).
- Stir well for about 30 seconds to chill and slightly dilute.
- Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice (preferably one large ice cube).
- Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink and use it as garnish or add an orange slice.
This method creates a perfectly balanced, classic Negroni cocktail with a bittersweet flavor profile that is both refreshing and aromatic.
