CLASSIC NEGRONI
Nostrana, an Italian restaurant in Portland, Ore., has offered a Negroni of the Month since 2010, all original creations, some of them quite odd (squid ink Negroni, anyone?). But the house Negroni follows classic lines, using equal parts gin, vermouth and Campari.

ANY-SPIRIT NEGRONI
This take on the classic drink uses a combination of sweet and dry vermouths in the standard gin-vermouth-red bitter formula, adding depth and character. The vermouths are paired with the spirit of your choice for an adaptable drink that puts whatever bottles you prefer or have on hand to work. If you're not a fan of the traditional gin, rum, tequila or bourbon or rye whiskeys are all great here.

- Using a small serrated knife, remove a 1" strip of peel from an orange (some white pith is okay); it should be stiff enough to provide some resistance when bent. Twist over drink to express oils; discard. Garnish with 3 very thin orange slices.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan.

KINGSTON NEGRONI
The bartender Joaquín Simó created this funky rum twist on the classic Negroni formula while working at Death & Co, a popular New York cocktail bar. According to Mr. Simó, Carpano Antica vermouth possesses enough strength of flavor to stand up to the powerful Smith & Cross, an overproof, pot-stilled Jamaican rum.

Tips:
- Use a good quality gin. The gin is the base of the Negroni, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a gin that is juniper-forward and has a complex flavor profile.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the Negroni will be. Use fresh orange juice, lemon juice, and Campari.
- Stir the Negroni, don't shake it. Shaking the Negroni will dilute it and make it less flavorful. Stirring the Negroni will gently combine the ingredients and preserve the flavor.
- Serve the Negroni over a large ice cube. This will help to keep the Negroni cold and prevent it from getting watered down.
- Garnish the Negroni with an orange twist. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the Negroni.
Conclusion:
The Negroni is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. With its complex flavor profile and refreshing taste, the Negroni is sure to become a favorite cocktail. If you are looking for a new cocktail to try, I highly recommend the Negroni.
