  • Display recipe in:
How to make:

POUR all ingredients into ice-filled glass and STIR.

Garnish:

Orange zest twist

Comment:

Bitter and dry, but very tasty. This no namby-pamby drink is traditionally assembled and mixed directly in the glass. There is something about a Negroni that does not suit fussing about with mixing glasses and strainers. To garnish with a lemon slice is a heinous crime but I am quite partial to a fat orange wedge.

Variant:

Americano
