The negroni is one of the most famous equal-parts cocktails, created around 1919 in Florence. The lovely red drink is bitter enough to be interesting yet easy to drink, thanks in large part to the smooth flavor of Tanqueray London Dry Gin.

- 1 oz. Sweet Vermouth
- 1 oz. Italian Bitter Aperitif
- Orange Twist Garnish
- *Approximate serving size is 1.5 servings. Please enjoy responsibly.
Directions
- Using a sharp knife and a cutting board, remove a long slice of orange skin, leaving as little pith on the peel as possible. Gently curl into a twist and set aside
- Combine gin, sweet vermouth and Italian bitter aperitif in a cocktail shaker or mixing glass with ice.
- Stir until combined and strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube.
- Twist the orange peel over the drink to express the oils, then add as garnish.
