Gin, Campari, and Orange Peel (Negroni)

Cocktail ingredients

About

The combination of Gin, Campari, and Orange Peel is at the heart of the classic Negroni cocktail. Gin provides a crisp, botanical base, while Campari adds a bitter and slightly sweet element, contributing to the drink's distinctive flavor profile. The use of high-quality gin is important, as it sets the foundation for the other ingredients. Campari, with its secret recipe, brings a bold, herbaceous taste that balances the sweetness of the vermouth. Orange Peel serves as a garnish, adding a burst of citrus aroma that complements the Campari's citrus notes. The Negroni is traditionally made with equal parts of each ingredient, creating a harmonious balance of bitter and sweet flavors. This simplicity makes it a versatile cocktail suitable for various occasions. The combination of these ingredients results in a sophisticated and timeless drink that is both refreshing and potent.
