Method

1

Add gin, Campari, vermouth, and bitters to a mixing glass with ice. Stir 30 seconds — you want it cold, not diluted.

2

Strain into a chilled rocks glass over a large clear cube.

3

Express the orange peel over the top, rim the glass, and drop it in.

4

Serve with a short spoon; let it sit a moment before the first sip.

From the kitchen

A negroni is a math problem. Equal parts, the right vermouth, and an orange peel you actually express.
