Tanqueray London Dry Gin Negroni

The Story Behind The Tanqueray London Dry Gin Negroni

The Negroni is one of the most famous equal-parts cocktails. It was created around 1919 when Italian Count Camillo Negroni asked a bartender at Café Casoni in Florence to strengthen his Americano with gin rather than club soda, according to Gary Regan in his book “The Joy of Mixology.” The lovely red drink is bitter enough to be interesting yet easy to drink, thanks in large part to the smooth flavor of Tanqueray London Dry Gin.

Ingredients

1 ounce Tanqueray London Dry Gin
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 ounce Italian bitter apéritif
Garnish: orange twist

Directions

Using a sharp knife and a cutting board, remove a long slice of orange skin, leaving as little pith on the peel as possible. Gently curl into a twist and set aside.
Combine gin, sweet vermouth, and Italian bitter apéritif in a cocktail shaker or mixing glass with ice.
Stir until combined and strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube.
Twist the orange peel over the drink to express the oils, then add as garnish.
