Negroni

Serve when

Pour one before the guests arrive, while the restaurant still smells of the feast to come.

Before you start

Equal parts gin, Campari and sweet vermouth, stirred over ice; chill the glasses first.

Cook-along start: before the movie

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

Method

  1. Add the gin, Campari, and vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir until well chilled, about 20 seconds.
  3. Strain over one large ice cube in a rocks glass.
  4. Express an orange peel over the top and drop it in.
