Negroni

A Negroni is a classic cocktail that originated in Italy and is now enjoyed all over the world. It's a simple but sophisticated drink that is made with just three ingredients: gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari.

To make a Negroni, you typically combine equal parts of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari in a mixing glass filled with ice. You then stir the mixture well and strain it into a rocks glass filled with ice. Finally, you can garnish the drink with a twist of orange peel or a slice of orange.

The resulting drink is a beautiful red color, with a bold and bitter taste that is both refreshing and complex. The gin provides a botanical flavor, the sweet vermouth adds a rich and slightly sweet note, and the Campari adds a bitter and herbal complexity. The Negroni is often considered an acquired taste, but those who enjoy it appreciate its balance and simplicity. It's a great cocktail to enjoy before dinner, or as a nightcap.
