Negroni
A citrusy and bitter aperitif built around gin, with the classic proportions and service that make the Negroni endure.
“Darling, a Negroni this polished makes the rest of the room look underdressed.”
WHY THIS DRINK WORKS
The Negroni works because gin, Campari, sweet vermouth meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method stirred, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
