Negroni

5 ratings

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.

Ingredients

  • handful ice
  • 25ml/1fl oz gin
  • 25ml/1fl oz Campari
  • 25ml/1fl oz sweet red vermouth
  • orange slices, to garnish (optional)

Method

  1. Fill a rocks glass with ice.

  2. Pour the gin, Campari and vermouth over the ice.

  3. 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.
