From Big Night (1996)
Negroni
Pairing
Serve when
Pour one before the guests arrive, while the restaurant still smells of the feast to come.
What to drink
Big Night is a wine film, but the drink an Italian table really opens with is the aperitivo — and the Negroni's bitter-sweet edge is built to cut the richness of Primo's timpano. Pour one before the feast. (A suggested pairing; no one mixes it on screen.)
Ingredients
Steps
- Add the gin, Campari, and vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice.
- Stir until well chilled, about 20 seconds.
- Strain over one large ice cube in a rocks glass.
