  • Pour the rye, Campari, vermouth, aperitif, and bitters into a glass filled with ice cubes and mix well. Strain the mixture into a glass containing an extra-large ice cube. Remove as much pith as possible from the orange peel and trim the edges to form a rectangular shape. With a lit match, warm the outer side of the orange peel by rocking it back and forth over the flame, and then squeeze the peel until the flame and peel make sparks. Rub the rim of the glass with the peel and drop it into the glass.

SCOTCHY BOULEVARDIERS FOR A CROWD

Meet the Negroni's wintery cousin, made with whiskey instead of gin. Rye whiskey is peppery and dry; you can also make this classic cocktail with bourbon for a vanilla-tinged sweetness. We like it with a mix of rye and scotch, which makes it a little more savory. (If you don't have scotch though, feel free to substitute more rye.) Making this big batch in advance means you don't have to stir each cocktail to serve.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup rye whiskey
3/4 cup Campari
3/4 cup sweet vermouth, such as Carpano Antica
1/2 cup scotch
8 orange twists

Steps:

  • Combine rye, Campari, vermouth, scotch, and 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. water in a quart-size jar. Seal and freeze at least 2 hours and up to 2 weeks.
  • To serve, gently turn jar to mix. Place ice in a rocks glass and pour in cocktail. Squeeze oils from orange twist over, rub peel around rim of glass, then garnish glass with peel.

Tips:

  • Chill Your Glassware: Before making your cocktail, chill your coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This will help to keep your drink cold and refreshing.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This includes using fresh lemons, oranges, and grapefruit for your citrus juices.
  • Don't Over Stir: When stirring your cocktail, be gentle and don't over stir. Over stirring can dilute the drink and make it watery.
  • Garnish with Style: A simple garnish can go a long way in making your cocktail look and taste more appealing. Try garnishing your Scotch Negroni with a lemon twist, orange peel, or a sprig of mint.

Conclusion:

The Scotch Negroni is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
