Instructions
Mix the Negroni: In a mixing glass filled 2/3 with ice, pour in the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Stir for 20 seconds to chill and mix, and then strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.
To make a pitcher Negroni: Combine 8 ounces each of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Stir to combine. You can serve right away, or keep in asealed container in your refrigerator for up to 1 month, or freezer for up to 3 months.
Ice or no ice? You can serve a Negroni straight up in a coupe glass, or over ice in a rocks glass. Serve over ice if you want something to sip on for a while, or serve up for a stronger drink.
Go the extra mile: Chill your serving glass. Store for a few hours in your freezer, or fill with ice water and dump before adding the cocktail.
