Negroni, a cocktail worthy of royalty
The first time I experienced the rich, smoky, soothing bliss of a Negroni was at the Ritz in Shanghai. I was with my sister from Down Under; Melissa. We were celebrating life, opportunities, happenstance, and raising a toast to the new lawyer in the Cecchini Clan, in absentia.
- 1 1/2 ounces sweet vermouth or Carpano Antica formula
- 1 1/2 ounces Campari
- 1 1/2 ounces gin
- Orange slice or twist for garnish
- I love hoppy beers, but I can't seem to get over the intense, eye-twitching bitterness of the Campari. I dial the Campari back a bit in my recipe, and shake a little longer for dilution.
