When you know you’ve truly become bougie.
- 1 oz. red sweet vermouth
- 1 oz. Campari
- 1 oz. gin
Mix ingredients in cocktail beaker with ice. Strain over large ice in lowball glass. Serve with orange peel: spritzed over drink, rubbed around rim, and twisted as garnish.
Negronis were a hard sell for me. The bitterness of Campari wasn’t my usual flavor-of-choice, and the standard sweet vermouth was the follow-up punch my tastebuds didn’t need.
But then we found the best. vermouth. ever.
If you can find it near you, we highly recommend Partida Creus MUZ, an organic vermouth from Spain that changed our lives (and palettes) for the better.
Unfortunately, our local distributors stopped carrying it around the pandemic, leaving us sad and MUZ-less.
If Partida Creus MUZ isn’t available, then it’s time to experiment — trust us, it’s worth a few extra dollars to find a liquor you actually like. You’ll get more use out of it and actually decrease your cost per cocktail (CPCT?).
At Simple Home Bar, we never want to buy an ingredient that we only use in one drink. So if you’re going to make a purchase, make it a delicious one.
