Stop messing with my Negroni
It's already a perfect cocktail
My latest Spectator piece: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/stop-messing-with-my-negroni/
‘The genius of the Negroni lies in the equal-parts ratio of bitter Campari, aromatic gin such as London or Plymouth, and sweet vermouth, preferably Cocchi di Torino. When stirred over ice and with a twirl of orange peel, it is a perfect balance of bitter, sweet, floral, fruity, spicy, and faintly herbaceous.’
I agree, if someone wants to put something else in a Negroni it ceases to be a Negroni. Other pet peeve is bars that fob you off with an orange slice instead of the peel. It has to be the peel.
