Gin

Ingredients
Method

The Negroni cocktail has an assertive character and perfect symmetry. Created in Italy, the drink combines gin, vermouth, and aperitif in equal proportions to create something that is uncompromisingly bitter but smooth. Its distinctive ruby colour is a visual pleaser, and its simplicity conceals a rich depth. Served over ice and garnished with an orange twist, the Negroni cocktail is for those with an affinity for structure, balance, and a touch of contrast.

What you’ll need

Ingredients

Serves:
1
  • Gin
    30ml
  • Non-alcoholic red aperitif
    20ml
  • Sweet vermouth
    20ml
  • Orange slice
    For garnish
  • Ice cubes

Method

  1. Step 1

    Pour the gin, non-alcoholic aperitif, and sweet vermouth into a mixing glass filled with fresh ice cubes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir the mixture carefully for around 20 seconds to chill and adequately dilute the cocktail without diluting the flavours too much.

  3. Step 3

    Strain the agitated mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice to maintain clarity and temperature in the final serving.

  4. Step 4

    Garnish with a fresh orange slice, which adds scent and highlights the citrus notes in the vermouth and aperitif blend.

Tips & Suggestions

  • Use a dry, juniper-dominant gin so that it can stand up to the bitterness of the aperitif and the sweetness of the vermouth.

  • Select a good-quality sweet vermouth; a fresh, properly stored bottle contributes rich herbal depth and keeps the drink from becoming dull and syrupy.

FAQs

Vermouth is a fortified wine flavoured with various herbs and spices.  It is traditionally produced in two styles: dry (white) vermouth and sweet (red) vermouth.

A London Dry gin, with its strong juniper flavour and citrus undertones, is typically preferred for a classic Negroni cocktail.

Traditionally, a Negroni cocktail is served in a lowball glass, also known as a tumbler or rocks glass.  Short, wide, and comfortable to grasp, this glass is ideal for neat drinks such as the Negroni cocktail, Old Fashioned cocktail, and Gin Sour cocktail.
