I guess I just can't quite wrap my head around the appeal of substituting vodka for gin in a Negroni. Or maybe I just need to get better quality bitters and vermouth, because this with Campari and Martini and Rossi Rosso, this was very much a subpar Negroni. The vodka just added nothing but a buzz to the proceedings. Might try to tweak later for a more malleable cocktail.
