How to make it

  1. Build all ingredients in an old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir gently.
  3. Garnish with orange peel.

About the Negroni

Created in 1919 in Florence when Count Camillo Negroni asked to strengthen his Americano.

Missing something?

  • No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
  • No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
  • No Campari? Use Aperol (Lighter, sweeter and less bitter)
  • No Sweet Vermouth? Use Punt e Mes (Noticeably more bitter)
