Negroni Cocktail Recipe

Name: Negroni Cocktail
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1 oz Gin; 1 oz Campari; 1 oz Sweet Vermouth

Created in 1910s in Florence, Italy, for Count Camillo Negroni, who requested a stronger Americano cocktail. This is a spirit-forward cocktail that is sharp and has an intense, beautifully balanced flavor profile. It is the perfect blend of bitter (from the Campari), sweet (from the vermouth), and aromatic/botanical (from the gin).

Expert Tips for Negroni

Prioritize Dilution: Stir only. Do not shake this cocktail. Stirring provides proper chilling and the perfect amount of dilution for a smooth, viscous texture. Taste and Adjust: While the classic ratio is 1:1:1, slightly adjust the amounts of Gin, Campari, or Vermouth based on the specific sweetness or bitterness of your chosen brands to maintain balance. Use Large Ice: Serve over one large, dense ice cube to ensure the drink stays cold without quickly becoming watered down. Express the Garnish: Always firmly twist the orange peel over the drink to release the aromatic oils onto the surface before dropping the peel in.
