I recently went to the brand new Dewberry Hotel for drinks (where we partly shot our new Lookbook) and by the recommendation of a friend, ordered a Negroni. While I used to like sweeter drinks, I have started to embrace stronger, more flavorful cocktails that are not so sugary and this is just perfect. The hint of orange made me think that it is a perfect fall drink and I’ve since been trying them everywhere I go. It is a bit strong, so you could always top with a little champagne or prosecco to make it lighter.
Here is the recipe, and if course this being a gin-based cocktail I would suggest using Hendrick’s Gin (my favorite) and possibly even drinking while wearing our adorable Gin Pendant Necklace…
The Negroni
2 tablespoons gin
2 tablespoons Campari
2 tablespoons sweet vermouth
1 orange twist
