COCKTAIL OF THE MONTH NOV‘2024 

In 1919 Florentine Count Camillo Negroni asked the soda water in his Americano be replaced with gin. The cocktail quickly grew fashionable, and somewhere through the years came to be referred to as simply a “Negroni.” Evidently he enjoyed the cocktail enough to found the Negroni Distillerie shortly thereafter, which produced pre-made versions of his namesake cocktail.

The Classic Negroni Cocktail is a refreshingly bittersweet drink with strong hints of citrus and herby undertones. The perfect all-season drink, and so easy to make with just three ingredients! Equal parts Campari, gin, and vermouth.

Ingredients

• 1 ounce gin
• 1 ounce Campari
• 1 ounce sweet vermouth
• Garnish: orange peel

Instructions

1. Add the gin, Campari and sweet vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir until well-chilled.
2. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
3. Garnish with an orange peel.
