Negroni Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Combine

   Add 1 oz Bombay Gin, 1 oz Campari, and 1 oz Dolin Rouge into a mixing glass.

2. 2

   Add ice

   Fill the mixing glass with large ice cubes (about 4 pieces) until the glass is mostly full so the drink chills efficiently without diluting too quickly.

3. 3

   Stir

   Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture smoothly and steadily for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 full spoon rotations) until the outside of the mixing glass feels cold and a small amount of dilution has occurred.

4. 4

   Prepare glass

   Place a large ice cube or sphere into a chilled old-fashioned glass (or rocks glass). If you used large cubes to chill the mixing glass, one large cube in the serving glass is ideal.

5. 5

   Strain

   Strain the stirred cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared serving glass over the single large ice cube.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Express the oils from one piece of orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel skin-side down and giving it a sharp squeeze, then rub the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the drink as garnish.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve immediately. The cocktail yields one classic Negroni with balanced bitterness and aromatics.
