Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Invest in quality gin, vermouth, and Campari. Fresh orange peel is also essential for a great Negroni.
  • Stir, don't shake: Shaking the Negroni will dilute it and make it cloudy. Instead, stir it gently with ice to chill it without diluting it.
  • Garnish with an orange twist: A classic Negroni is garnished with an orange twist. This adds a bright, citrusy note to the cocktail.
  • Experiment with different gins: There are many different gins available, each with its own unique flavor profile. Experiment with different gins to find one that you like best in a Negroni.
  • Make a Negroni sbagliato: For a sweeter variation on the Negroni, try making a Negroni sbagliato. This cocktail is made with Prosecco instead of gin.
