Caffeine Free Negroni
This classic stirred cocktail is all about balance — the botanical bite of gin, the bittersweet complexity of Campari, and the rich, herbal sweetness of vermouth coming together in one deeply satisfying pour. None of those three core ingredients contain caffeine, making this an evening drink you can sip without worrying about staying up all night for the wrong reasons. The technique matters here: a long, patient stir over large ice cubes chills and gently dilutes the drink to exactly the right texture, silky and cold without ever getting watery. That final step with the orange peel is more than garnish — expressing the oils over the glass adds a bright, citrusy aroma that lifts the whole experience before the first sip. It's the kind of cocktail that feels like it came from a proper bar, but comes together in your own kitchen in under five minutes.
