Italian Negronis are ace.

One of the best things I love about Italy is that you can ask for a Negroni practically anywhere. They are usually unfussy, generous, and perfectly balanced. The most I’ve paid is €7, lowest €3. #negroni #tuscany

How To Make: Negroni Straight Up

Negroni: Gin, Campari & vermouth.

  • A dash of Angostura
  • 35ml of Gin
  • 35ml of Campari
  • 35ml of Martini Rosso
  • Preferred glass would be a Cocktail glass
  • Garnish with a rind of grapefruit peel

The Negroni is the champion of all cocktails.

Stir everything together with ice in a glass mixing jug. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Use a citrus stripper to peel a rind of grapefruit, but do this over the glass so that the oils from the skin coat the surface of the drink.

Usually if you order this drink in London, it's usually served built over ice, but I'm not a big fan of it this way. I might have it over ice when it's really hot out, or if I want to sip a cool longer drink.

Avoid any further bullshit.
