Ingredients
- 50ml Campari
- 50ml gin
- 50ml vermouth rosso
- 2 slices of orange, to serve
Step by step
- Take 2 short tumblers, and mix together 25ml Campari, 25ml gin and 25ml vermouth rosso in each one.
-
Split a large handful of ice between the glasses, stir well, and garnish each drink with an orange slice. Serve.TipThe twists:
Aperol Negroni
For a lighter, less bitter drink, swap the Campari for 50ml of another popular Italian aperitif, Aperol.
Rosemary Negroni
Add 2 sprigs of rosemary to each glass with the spirits. Bash with a spoon to release flavour before adding the ice and orange.
Negroni Sbagliato
Meaning a ‘messed-up Negroni’, this fizzy version calls for the gin to be swapped for 50ml Prosecco.
