Negroni
Prep time:
Gin, Campari and sweet vermouth in equal parts, stirred over ice with an orange peel. Bitter up front, sweet underneath, with the gin holding it all together: one of the few classics you can remember without a recipe, because it does not need one.
Ingredients
- 30 ml of gin
- 30 ml of Campari
- 30 ml of sweet red vermouth
Preparation
- Place all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice.
- Mix for about 15 seconds.
- Serve over fresh ice.
- Decorate with orange.
Negroni twists
Boulevardier
Bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth, stirred and finished with orange peel. It is the Negroni with whiskey instead of gin, and the change goes beyond the name: it comes out rounder, sweeter and longer on the palate, more an after-dinner drink than an aperitivo.

Mezcal Negroni
The usual Negroni with mezcal instead of gin. The bitterness of the Campari and the smoke of the agave pull in the same direction, and the drink gains body.

Negroni Sbagliato
Campari and sweet vermouth in equal parts, with prosecco where the gin would go. “Sbagliato” means “mistaken”: as Bar Basso in Milan tells it, in the 1970s bartender Mirko Stocchetto reached for the sparkling wine instead of the gin, and the mistake stayed on the menu.
