    Magnificent Bartender: Negroni

    We're falling behind on mixing instructions for our Cocktail Color Changing Guide, but better late than never we say, especially when it involves getting hammered in style. Up now: the Negroni, both in Poor Bastard and Magnificent Bastard versions.









    Poor Bastard - Negroni

    2 parts everyday gin (Seagram's Extra Dry)

    1 part Campari

    1 part sweet vermouth

    Throw all these into a low ball glass with a bunch of ice, stir it up and toss on a slice or wedge of an orange.

    MB - Negroni

    5 parts Plymouth gin

    2 parts Campari

    1 part Pimm's No. 1 Cup

    1 part sweet vermouth

    1 part dry vermouth

    2 dashes of orange bitters

    Quick shake or stir and pour into chilled Martini glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
