THE NEGRONI COCKTAIL
I’m pretty surprised I hadn’t featured this one on the show before, but according to my spreadsheet, no. I think I have done an Enzoni, which uses grapes instead of sweet vermouth. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
The story behind this cocktail is a good one, almost too good. In the early 20th Century, Italian Count Camillo Negroni asked the bartender of Bar Casoni in Florence to substitute the soda water in his usual Americano with gin. The bartender also subbed an orange peel instead of lemon.
This one is an easy mixture to remember; it’s all equal parts.
· 1 oz. (60 ml) gin
· 1 oz. Campari
· 1 oz. sweet vermouth
Add all ingredients into a mixing glass and stir with ice until well-chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube and garnish with an orange peel. There are so many riffs on this cocktail, and even playing with different brands of sweet vermouth can change it up a great deal. Campari is usually in all the variations, however.
