Description
The negroni is celebrating its 100th year in 2019. It’s still a hit with cocktail fans everywhere. Here’s how to make the perfect negroni. It’s a mix of simple and amazing flavours.
The classic negroni recipe is easy to remember. It uses equal parts of gin, Campari, and vermouth. It’s best to use top-notch ingredients for the perfect taste.
To start, pick a good London Dry Gin like Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire. These gins work well with Campari’s bitter kick.
Ingredients
30ml London Dry Gin
30ml Campari
30ml Sweet Vermouth
Instructions
Put these ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir for 30 seconds to chill and mix everything. Pour it in a glass over ice. Add an orange twist on top to bring out more flavour.
Notes
The negroni is great because you can try different gins or vermouth. You might like a Negroni Sbagliato, which uses sparkling wine. It’s a lighter twist on the classic.
The negroni is strong, around 24-30% alcohol. It’s a good drink to have before a meal. Enjoy it with olives or a charcuterie board for a special start to dinner.
The garnish for your negroni makes a big difference. A twist of orange peel is standard. But, you can try herbs like rosemary or thyme for something different. If you want to mix it up a bit, change the gin amount for a stronger taste
