Negroni

Background and Motivation:

Negroni is a bitter sweet apertif that I've started drinking recently. It combines the bitter taste
of campari with the sweet taste of vermouth and actually goes well with the unique taste of gin.

I've had it on the rocks in a tumbler and more traditionally in a martini glass. It tastes good both ways and choosing between those two modes may be more of a function of who you want to show off to than anything else. If you think the drink is a bit too strong, try adding some soda or tonic water.

Variables:

1 part gin
1 part sweet vermouth
1 part campari
Orange peel (optional garnish)
Soda water (optional)

Algorithm:

Mix in a shaker with ice and pour into a martini glass.

Execution Time: Minimal
