Negroni

An apéritif from Italy dating back to 1919, the blend of bitter and sweet in this classic cocktail will make you fall in love with all things Italian, all over again. Similar to the martini, there are many variations of the negroni, but the classic (which you can play with until you find the combo of ingredients that work best for you) is as follows:

Classic Negroni

1 oz dry gin
1 oz Campari
1 oz sweet vermouth
Orange peel

Two ways to serve:

Option 1 – Combine ingredients in an old-fashioned glass filled with ice. Stir to combine. Twist orange peel over drink for aromatics. Garnish with orange peel.

Option 2 – Combine ingredients in a mixing glass and fill with ice. Stir for 20 seconds. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Twist orange peel over drink for aromatics. Garnish with orange peel.
