Chicken Free Negroni
The Negroni is one of those cocktails that feels effortlessly sophisticated — bitter, sweet, and spirit-forward all at once, with a gorgeous ruby color that makes it look like you really know what you're doing. Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth come together in a mixing glass over ice, stirred until perfectly chilled and just slightly diluted, then strained over a single large cube for a slow, elegant melt. The finishing touch is a twist of orange peel, expressed over the glass so the citrus oils hit the surface of the drink before the peel gets dropped in — it's a small step that makes a genuinely noticeable difference. This is the kind of drink that rewards patience and a little technique, but the actual process is simple enough to master on your first try. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or just unwinding on a weeknight, it's a classic worth having in your back pocket.
