Negroni Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Prepare glass

   Select an old-fashioned (rocks) glass. Add 1–2 large ice cubes or a single large sphere to chill the glass.

2. 2

   Measure and combine

   Using a jigger, measure 1 oz Bombay Sapphire gin, 1 oz Dolin Rouge sweet vermouth, and 1 oz Campari. Pour all three ingredients directly into the chilled rocks glass over the ice.

3. 3

   Stir

   Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 20–30 seconds (15–20 full revolutions) until the drink is well chilled and slightly diluted—this rounds the flavors and integrates the spirits.

4. 4

   Express and garnish

   Take a fresh orange peel, hold it over the glass with the outer (zested) side facing down toward the drink, and give it a firm twist to express the oils over the surface. Optionally rub the peel's rim around the glass edge, then drop the peel into the drink as garnish.

5. 5

   Serve immediately. Provide a short straw or let the drink be sipped from the glass to appreciate the aroma from the expressed orange oils.
