Negroni cocktail

This is a real bartenders’ drink. Many will say it is a man’s drink but I think there is something very cool (not that alcohol makes you cool, obviously) and egalitarian in a girl ordering a ‘men’s drink’. If you do want to soften it up a bit, just mix your Negroni up with a glass of Champagne or Cava.

This drink is at its finest as an aperitif; all those tasty herbs wake up and cleanse the taste buds.

In its purest form it is super simple. The 1:1:1 ratio will be the easiest cocktail recipe you’ll ever memorise. The real magic starts once you start to play around with the brands of alcohol you use as you can really get some delicious flavours going on.
