FAQ

Can I shake a Negroni instead of stirring?

While traditionally stirred, shaking won't ruin it if that's your preference.

What's the best gin to use?

A London dry gin is classic, but feel free to experiment with different styles.

Can I make a batch in advance?

Yes, mix ingredients without ice and store in the fridge. Serve chilled over ice.

Why use an orange peel?

The oils from the peel add a nice citrus aroma that complements the drink.

Is Campari available everywhere?

Campari is widely available, but if not, seek out similar bitter aperitifs.
