Negroni
The negroni, when made right, is one of the best aperitifs. The key to this classic Italian cocktail is not to over-dilute it, so a quick stir is more than enough to mix the ingredients together.

Method
Fill a rocks glass with ice.
Pour the gin, Campari and vermouth over the ice.
Quickly stir the ice in the glass down to a dilution you like, then garnish with an orange slice or two if using.
Recipe Tips
A twist of orange zest is a great alternative garnish for this drink. If you have a mixing glass, stir the negroni to your desired dilution and then strain over a block of ice. If you are unsure what dilution you like, keep stirring until the outside of the glass and the liquid inside are well chilled.
