NEGRONI

Once an insiders’ drink, the Negroni has in the last decade or two become a party staple. And with good reason. It’s easy to make, and very forgiving. Even if you don’t follow the classic ratio of equal parts gin, Campari and sweet vermouth carefully, it still makes a great drink. On the rocks with a twist of orange peel is the standard, but it tolerates plenty of experimentation: try it straight up for a stiffer apéritif.
