Negroni Week is upon us, and it's the perfect time to order this cocktail when you're out for dinner. Between June 24 and 30, more than 12,000 locations around the world are participating, offering the drink and donating part of the proceeds to charities. Even if you have no plans to head out, you can help raise awareness by making one at home.
Here's a refreshing negroni using Ampersand Gin that's perfect for backyard barbecues. Floral, citrusy, with hints of spice and herbs, the gin pairs well with its own Imperative dry vermouth for a lighter version of the classic negroni.
1 o.z Ampersand Gin
1 oz. Ampersand Imperative Dry Vermouth
1 oz. Luxardo Bitter Bianco
1 strip orange or lemon twist
Stir all the ingredients and pour over a large ice cube in an old fashioned glass. Garnish with an orange or lemon twist.
