A classic Italian cocktail, the Negroni is a great go-to drink for any occasion, requiring only three ingredients. It's easy to whip up and will impress guests with its bold and flavorful ingredients. —Lauren Grant, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Ingredients
Instructions
Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add the Campari, gin and sweet vermouth.
Stir the cocktail until it's chilled. Editor's Tip: Don't reach for the cocktail shaker. Instead, run a bar spoon around the edge of the mixing glass to swirl the elixir until it's thoroughly chilled. Since each ingredient contains alcohol, they mix fairly seamlessly without requiring much agitation. You also don't want to water them down too much.
Using a cocktail strainer, strain the Negroni into a rocks glass. Editor's Tip: No one will fault you for chilling the glass first by setting it in the freezer or refrigerator while you mix the drink. You can also fill the glass with ice and discard it before pouring the cocktail.
Garnish the Negroni with a strip of orange peel. Editor's Tip: To get a perfect orange peel, use a Y-shaped peeler to slice a strip from the fruit. Alternatively, use a paring knife and carefully run it down the side of the fruit.
