    The Ultimate Negroni

    Published: Oct 28, 2016 · Modified: Feb 4, 2021 by Ashley

    Gin, vermouth & Campari come together in this classic cocktail.

    What's your go-to happy hour cocktail?

    I'm usually a gin & tonic girl, but we've been mixing things up lately.

    The Ultimate Negroni: Gin, vermouth & Campari come together in this classic cocktail.

    A Negroni is a classic Italian cocktail. It gets its signature red hue from Campari, which also gives this cocktail a bitter taste.

    My husband is more into the bitter cocktails than I am, but I do enjoy the occasional Negroni, sometimes diluted (gasp!) with a bit of club soda on top or even a little simple syrup to counteract the bitterness.

    The Ultimate Negroni: Gin, vermouth & Campari come together in this classic cocktail.

    We've been trying a lot of different brands of gin lately. What's your favorite? I'm always on the lookout for a new one to try at home!

    The Ultimate Negroni: Gin, vermouth & Campari come together in this classic cocktail.

    • 1½ oz. London dry gin
    • ¾ oz. Campari
    • ¾ oz. Italian vermouth
    • Orange twist, for garnish

    See Esquire for the full recipe.

      For a sweeter alternative without adding sugar, sub aperol for the campari. Deelish
