1
Prepare glass
Select a lowball/old-fashioned glass. Add one large ice cube or fill with large ice cubes to chill the glass.
2
Measure
Measure 1 oz gin, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 1 oz Campari (or similar bitter aperitif) using a jigger.
3
Build or stir
For a classic Negroni 1397 (equal parts, stirred): add the measured gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari into a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir gently for 20–30 seconds until well chilled (the exterior of the mixing glass will feel cold and slightly frosted).
4
Strain
Using a Hawthorne or julep strainer, strain the chilled cocktail into the prepared lowball glass over the large ice cube(s).
5
Garnish
Express the oils from one piece of orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel skin-side down about 3 inches above the cocktail and giving it a quick, firm twist. Run the peel around the rim and drop it into the glass as garnish.
6
Optional finishing touches
If you prefer a slightly more aromatic or sweeter profile, add 2 dashes of orange bitters to the mixing glass before stirring, or stir in 1/4 tsp simple syrup with the base spirits. Stir briefly to integrate, then strain and garnish as above.
