Low Sodium Negroni
Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth come together in one of the most perfectly balanced cocktails ever conceived. The bittersweet depth of the Campari plays beautifully against the botanicals in the gin, while the sweet vermouth rounds everything out with a rich, almost syrupy warmth. Stirring over large ice cubes for a full 20 to 25 seconds is the move here — it chills the drink properly and adds just the right amount of dilution without watering it down. That final twist of orange peel is more than a garnish; expressing the oils over the glass adds a bright, citrusy aroma that transforms the first sip. For anyone watching sodium intake, this is a cocktail that delivers enormous complexity and satisfaction without a grain of added salt anywhere in the build. It's the kind of drink that feels special enough for a dinner party but simple enough to make on a Tuesday night.
