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.

Categories     cocktails

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ounce gin, preferably Bombay Dry
1 ounce sweet vermouth, preferably Cinzano Rosso
1 ounce Campari
Orange twist

Steps:

  • Combine all liquid ingredients with ice in a mixing glass and stir until chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. Squeeze orange twist over drink and slip into glass.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your Negroni. Use fresh fruit juices, quality gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari.
  • Experiment with different ratios: The classic Negroni recipe calls for equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. However, you can adjust these ratios to taste. For a drier Negroni, use less sweet vermouth. For a more bitter Negroni, use more Campari.
  • Garnish with an orange peel: A classic Negroni is always garnished with an orange peel. This adds a bright citrus flavor to the drink.
  • Serve chilled: Negronis are best served chilled. You can chill the ingredients in the refrigerator or freezer before making the drink.

Conclusion:

The Negroni is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its bitter, sweet, and citrusy flavors, the Negroni is a drink that everyone can enjoy. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the Negroni a try. You won't be disappointed!
