Ingredients

  • 30 ml gin
  • 30 ml Campari
  • 30 ml sweet red vermouth Carpano Antica or Cinzano 1757 if you can get it
  • 1 large orange peel
  • large ice cube or big ice

Instructions

  • Put a large ice cube or a big handful of ice into a rocks glass.
  • Pour in the gin, Campari and sweet vermouth. Stir with a bar spoon for 20 seconds until the glass is cold to the touch.
  • Express a strip of orange peel over the top, rub it around the rim, and drop it in. Serve.

Notes

Refrigerate the vermouth once opened. Warm vermouth is what kills most home-made Negronis.
