This is the classic Italian way to open a meal: the Negroni, a bittersweet palate cleanser that makes way for the evening's delights.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the Negroni. Use a high-quality gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari.
  • Stir, don't shake: Shaking the Negroni will dilute it and make it cloudy. Instead, stir it gently with ice for about 30 seconds.
  • Use fresh orange peel: The orange peel garnish adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the Negroni. Be sure to use fresh orange peel, as dried orange peel will not have the same flavor.
  • Experiment with different gins and vermouths: There are many different brands of gin and vermouth available, so you can experiment to find the combination that you like best. For a classic Negroni, use a London dry gin and a sweet vermouth. For a more complex Negroni, try using a barrel-aged gin or a bianco vermouth.
  • Serve the Negroni chilled: The Negroni is a refreshing drink that is best served chilled. Serve it over ice or in a chilled coupe glass.

Conclusion:

The Negroni is a classic cocktail that has been enjoyed for over 100 years. It is a simple drink to make, but it is full of flavor. With its perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness, and citrus, the Negroni is a drink that everyone should try. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the Negroni a try. You won't be disappointed.
