Newport Negroni Recipe

1. Combine and chill

Add the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth to a mixing glass.

2. Add ice and stir

Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 6–8 cubes). Stir gently and consistently for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full strokes) until the mixture is well chilled and properly diluted (~20–25% dilution perceived as slight softening of spirit intensity).

3. Prepare serving glass

Place a large ice cube or ice sphere in a chilled old-fashioned (rocks) glass.

4. Strain

Using a julep or Hawthorne strainer, strain the stirred cocktail from the mixing glass into the serving glass over the large ice cube.

5. Garnish

Express the oils of an orange peel over the surface by twisting the peel skin-side down above the drink, then rub the peel around the rim and drop it into the glass as garnish.

6. Serve immediately. Optionally provide a stirring pick or straw for slow sipping.
