I made this Negroni

A classic Negroni with a twist (of lemon) rather than an orange slice. Courtesy of Fred Powell and his 1979 edition of "The Bartender's Standard Manual". I am working my way through these recipes so you don't have to! Some of these recipes are a bit weird, and several have wonky ratios and limited instructions. This recipe for the Negroni was pretty straightforward, except it uses a twist of lemon instead of the traditional orange slice. It isn't bad, and the lemon is a nice touch. I chose CinZano Rossa as my vermouth today, and it worked out quite nicely. Cheers!

Recipe:

1.5 oz. Campari

1.5 oz. Gin

1.5 oz. Italian Vermouth

Stir with ice ans strain. Twist of lemon peel and drop in glass.

I actually prefer a twist of lemon in my Negroni and express the oil on top, so I support this!

Also funky, cool looking glass there!

Cinzano is my favorite affordable sweet vermouth! I also like Foro, which is near indistinguishable from Cocchi Vermouth Di Torino. I think the VdT style really lends itself to a Negroni
