Classic Negroni

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The cocktail of perfect balance: one part gin (strength and spice), one part sweet vermouth (body and sweetness), one part Campari (bitterness and color). Legend has it Count Camillo Negroni asked in Florence to strengthen his favorite Americano with gin instead of soda. The result is an iconic aperitif that 'opens' the stomach before dinner.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Mixing glass (or the glass itself)
  • Bar spoon
  • Strainer (if using mixing glass)

Instructions

1 ✓

Fill a rocks glass (Old Fashioned glass) with a large ice cube.

Tip: A large ice surface cools effectively but melts slower due to less total surface area, preventing rapid dilution.
2 ✓

Pour the gin, Campari, and vermouth into the glass.

Tip: The 1:1:1 ratio is classic, but you can increase the gin for a drier version.
3 ✓

Stir with a bar spoon for 20-30 seconds. This is the most important step!

Tip: Stirring (dilution) smooths out the alcohol burn and marries the flavors. Without proper dilution, the drink is too harsh.
4 ✓

Cut a strip of orange peel. Hold it over the glass, colored side down, and squeeze to express the oils onto the surface. Rub the rim with it and drop it in.

Tip: The nose perceives the orange oil before the tongue tastes the drink, priming the palate.

Recipe FAQ

Can I shake it?
Never! Negroni consists only of pure spirits (no cloudy juices), so it must be stirred. Shaking introduces air bubbles and makes it cloudy, whereas this drink should be crystal clear and silky.
