How to make it

5 STEPS · ~5 MIN
  1. 01
    Set the glass
    Drop a single large cube into a rocks glass.
  2. 02
    Build in the mixing glass
    Add 1 oz gin, 1 oz Campari, 1 oz sweet vermouth. Fill with cracked ice.
  3. 03
    Stir gently
    Stir 25–30 rotations. Negronis are forgiving — but over-dilution mutes the bitter edge that makes the drink work.
  4. 04
    Strain over the cube
    The color should hold deep ruby, not faded pink.
  5. 05
    Garnish
    Express an orange peel oil-side down over the surface, then drop it in.
