The Negroni

Bittersweet, strong, complex - and unbeaten!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 25 ml 6 O'clock Gin
  • 25 ml Sweet Vermouth
  • 25 ml Campari

Instructions

  1. Stir all the ingredients down in a chilled ‘old fashioned’ or ‘rocks’ glass over plenty of ice. Add more ice to top up the glass and serve with a wedge of fresh orange. 

Recipe Notes

Dates From: 1919 (Florence, Italy).
Key Flavours: Bittersweet, strong & complex.
Background: This is one of the most famous gin cocktails and some consider it the benchmark for a refined palette. The story goes that Count Camillo Negroni asked Fosco Scarselli who was tending bar at the Caffè Casoni to make his favourite cocktail - the Americano - with a little more kick. Scarselli obliged by adding a measure of gin (rather than the usual soda water) and garnished the drink with a slice of orange to signify the variation. The rest, as they say, is history.

    Classic Cocktails : The Martinez

    The Martinez is often considered the father of the Martini though its true origins are somewhat mysterious. It appears that while the original recipe called for a sweet vermouth, the preference chance during the early part of the 20th Century to a drier style. Modern versions often call for Maraschino liqueur which works well as long as you go easy on the quantities.

    6 O’clock French 75

    Simplicity is something that many classic cocktails have in common, and the combination of our strikingly smooth 6 O’clock dry gin, a beautiful Champagne, some freshly squeezed lemon juice and a hint of sugar is the definition of simplicity. The subtle complexity of the ingredients complement each other without being overpowered.
