Negroni Cocktail Recipe

Ah, the negroni, a gin-based savior of many family get-togethers. One of the first things my brothers and I do when we’re at our parents’ house is make a pitcher of this cocktail. Booze is a great way to ease everyone into the swing of a holiday gathering. The negroni works well because it isn’t as harsh as a martini; its bitter and sweet taste makes for a great aperitif. Best of all, a negroni cocktail is plenty strong enough to make us all a bit loopy. And what’s more fun than watching Grandma get a bit loopy?

1 part Bombay Sapphire Gin
1 part Campari
3/4 part Martini and Rossi Sweet Vermouth (rosso)
Build (pour ingredients into an old-fashioned glass with ice), and stir
Serve with a twist of orange peel (for burnt orange, hold a match under the twist)
