I have been so excited to have one of these magical drinks outdoors, now that spring is full upon us, that I have done this two nights in a row. Last night was a lucky seating at the outdoor patio of the Boat Club and tonight is on my own deck. This particular Negroni pictured below was made by my own hand. I literally had to tell the bartender at the Boat Club how to make a Negroni, but it turned out okay and it was a beautiful evening by the river.
At home I use:
- 1oz London Dry Gin, usually Beefeater;
- 1 oz Sweet Vermouth, usually Dolin or Byrrh if I have it;
- 1 oz Campari
Like all of my “don’t shake” drinks, I shake it then pour over rocks in an oversized highball and garnish with an orange wheel.
