A simple slightly bitter yet pleasantly refreshing Italian classic Negroni cocktail that's made with just 4 ingredients.
Although we're not big on cocktails we certainly have always been big on 'apertivo's' (a pre the meal drink. Something to prepare the body for digestion)
The easiest cocktail that you will ever make with equal parts combined served over ice and an orange twist - cheers!
We are not big on cocktails but this Negroni is an exception because it's the one drink besides a good martini that we really do appreciate. Oh and a few other aperitive's but that's for another post so back to this Negroni with the striking orange and red colors, how gorgeous are they in here? Although a classic is made without fresh mint I couldn't resist!
Not sure which works best here but the slight bitter, perhaps a little sweet taste is all so refreshing and the orange peel seems to pull it all together creating the perfect balance. Yes this it's a great summer cocktail!
Ingredients are simple and easy to remember; equal parts of all three - Gin, Campari and Red Vermouth.
How To Make A Negroni Cocktail
Step 1
Combine Campari, gin and vermouth - You can use a stirrer, teaspoon or shaker but the idea is get all three well mixed with some ice.
Step 2
You should ideally use a cocktail glass but glasses and stirring/shaking methods alternate so work with what you have. Run the orange peel around the rim of the glass just so that when you take a sip you can get that all the flavors.

Step 3
If you don't have a shaker and are stirring the drinks in a glass then you need to have another glass with larger pieces of ice or 'more' ice and strain it onto the ice cubes. You would normally have a strainer in the shaker so you should strain it don't have a shaker.
We use a shaker and sometimes I use a teaspoon or cocktail stick to stir. When we are not using the shaker we don't strain we simply stir, add lots of ice and orange.
Step 4
Use a vegetable peeler to get orange peels, twist and drop into the glass.
Finally
Enjoy!
