Bold, bitter, and beautifully balanced, the Classic Negroni Cocktail is a timeless aperitif that’s as simple to make as it is sophisticated to sip. Featuring an iconic trio of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, this cocktail delivers a perfectly harmonious blend of herbal, citrus, and bittersweet notes that awaken the palate. With just a five-minute prep time, it’s stirred—not shaken—to ensure a silky and well-chilled drink. Finished with a fragrant twist of fresh orange peel, this Italian classic is best served over a single large ice cube in a rocks glass for a slow, elegant finish. Whether you’re hosting a cocktail hour or indulging in some well-deserved relaxation, the Negroni is an effortless yet refined choice for any occasion.

Measure 1 oz of Campari and pour it into the mixing glass as well.
Add ice cubes to the mixing glass until it is about three-quarters full.
Stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds using a bar spoon to chill and dilute the cocktail evenly.
Place a fresh ice cube in a rocks glass.
Strain the mixed cocktail over the ice cube in the rocks glass using a strainer.
Cut a strip of orange peel, express its oils over the cocktail by holding it over the glass and twisting it gently, then drop it into the drink as a garnish.
