Negroni
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Start your Negroni by preparing the glasses: fill 4 old-fashioned glasses with fresh ice to chill before mixing the drink.
- 2
Wash the orange well, use a sharp knife to cut a wide strip of peel without the white pith, and set it aside for garnish.
- 3
Put the remaining ice into a mixing glass and measure gin, Campari, and red vermouth in a 1:1:1 ratio.
Stirring
- 4
Stir the contents of the mixing glass thoroughly for about 20-30 seconds so the cocktail cools well and gently dilutes as the ice melts.
- 5
Strain through a fine sieve into the prepared glasses with fresh ice so the drink stays clear and free of small ice shards.
Serving
- 6
Hold the orange peel over the drink and twist it to release the essential oils. Rub it on the rim of the glass and drop it into the drink.
- 7
Serve immediately chilled as an elegant aperitif.
More tips:
Use the largest ice cubes possible. The drink will stay colder longer and dilute more slowly.
The Negroni is a stirred cocktail: do not shake it so it remains clear.
