Negroni Elements
Right here’s what you’ll have to make this recipe:
- Gin – Use any model you like. Our go-tos are Hendrick’s, St. George Botanivore, and Koval Dry Gin.
- Campari – Ever tried Aperol? Campari is one other bittersweet Italian liqueur, and it’s truly made by the identical firm. It provides this drink its vibrant colour, bitter end, and notes of orange peel.
- Candy vermouth – This fortified wine sweetens the Negroni and enhances the Campari’s bitter, earthy notes. Two of our favourite manufacturers are Dolin and Carpano’s Antica Method.
- Orange peel – For garnish! I really like the way it brings out the orange-y notes within the Campari.
- And ice – The colder this cocktail is, the extra refreshing it’s. You’ll stir the elements with ice to relax them and in addition serve the completed drink over ice.
