Review:

Enjoy a Negroni at any time. This recipe is designed to be poured over ice taken directly from the freezer, so it allows for minimal dilution from melting ice.

To measure your ingredients by weight (rather than volume):
1. Place a bottle with a funnel in the neck on your scales and then zero the sales.
2. Pour each successive ingredient into the bottle until you reach the weight shown after that ingredient:

I have a question. It says "This recipe is designed to be poured over ice taken directly from the freezer". Does that refer to the ice being taken directly from the freezer or does it mean the pre-mixed Negroni won't freeze solid in the freezer and it can be kept there, or is it better to keep it in the fridge? Either way, assuming one is using fresh ingredients (not a long opened bottle of Vermouth), for how long can it be kept in the freezer or fridge?

The bottled Negroni is designed to be stored in a refrigerator (it will freeze in a freezer) and then poured into a glass filled with ice taken directly from a freezer. If made with a freshly opened bottle of vermouth, the Negroni will be good to drink for two months if kept refrigerated and resealed between serves. (Although we've not had a bottle for much more than two weeks.)
