Feeling all Italian today after creating a little Italian dinner party, I felt the need to unwind like an Italian. In the early 1900’s, in Florence, Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender for a more manly drink than those of the time and thus the Negroni was born. This is a very adult cocktail and meant to be sipped.
It’s an aperitif that will take you by surprise on an empty stomach, so make sure to have a little plate of salami, cheese and crusty bread for a real Italian cocktail hour treat. For a lighter, more festive cocktail, top it off with Prosecco and let the party begin!
Ingredients:
1 oz dry gin
1 oz Carpano Antica sweet vermouth
1 oz Campari
1 fresh orange peel twist
1 oz Carpano Antica sweet vermouth
1 oz Campari
1 fresh orange peel twist
Method:
In a cocktail shaker, pour the gin, Campari and vermouth. Add ice. Stir until chilled and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Express the orange peel over the glass, around the rim and drop it in.
Variations of the Negroni can be served on the rocks in an Old Fashion glass or in a champagne flute topped with Prosecco.
