Jason Julian of Soma Cocktail Bar shows us that the classic Negroni is a simple, full-bodied serve that remains a favourite among bartenders and barflies alike. It uses just three ingredients that can be swapped or adjusted, yet still delivers a spirit-forward profile with rich, bittersweet notes.
This is a straightforward recipe that shows how balance and boldness can come from the most minimal of builds.
Ingredients:
Gin - 30ml
Campari - 30ml
Sweet (red) vermouth - 30ml
Method:
Add all ingredients into a mixing glass with ice, and stir for about 18-20 seconds. Serve in a rocks glass filled with one large chunk of ice, and express an orange peel zest over it.
