Negroni Cocktail
Glowing red, the Negroni manages to be both sophisticated and simple at the same time and is definitely for a grown-up palate - for many it's simply too...

Starting off with more sophisticated cocktails (over basic two ingredient martinis etc) I gave this one a go with budget ingredients. Oxford Arms gin, Luxardo aperitivo and Martini rosso - but with and without lemon zest (all I had) - tasted good to me, nothing jarring, I can see why this "holy trinity" is a classic :-)

I doubt Lemon would add anything useful. Orange peel or a generous slice, yes.
