Wheat Free Negroni
Few cocktails carry the same effortless sophistication as this bittersweet classic, and the good news is that every single ingredient in it is naturally free of wheat and gluten. Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth come together in a perfectly stirred, beautifully balanced drink that is bitter, herbal, and just a little sweet all at once. The technique matters here — a full 20 to 25 seconds of stirring over large ice cubes chills the drink properly while adding just the right amount of dilution, so nothing tastes harsh or flat. That final twist of orange peel is not just decorative; expressing the oils over the surface of the drink adds a bright, citrusy aroma that completely transforms the first sip. For anyone navigating wheat sensitivities, cocktail hour can sometimes feel like a minefield of beer taps and mystery mixers, but this one is clean and straightforward from start to finish. Keep a bag of large ice cubes on hand and this becomes your go-to entertaining pour — elegant enough for guests, easy enough for a quiet weeknight.
