It's Friday. You (we) deserve a cocktail. I am going to try to post about a cocktail every Friday, so that you can be inspired to order or make something new each week. One of my favorite go-to cocktails is the Negroni, and several friends I've introduced to them are now hooked (I'm looking at you, Lauren & Kim). You can serve a Negroni either straight up or on the rocks, but either way it's an elegant, albeit potent, way to kick off your weekend. You can play with the ratios or the ingredients a bit, but here's the basic recipe.
Negroni
Equal parts:
Gin
Campari
Sweet Vermouth
Stir with ice and strain into either a cocktail glass or a rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish with an orange twist.

Variation – 1 1/2 parts Domaine De Canton ginger liqueur, 1/2 part Campari, 1/2 part extra dry vermouth, 1 1/2 parts OJ. Not quite as potent, very tasty with the hit of ginger. Maybe just add a bit of the ginger to the original list of ingredients . . .

Yes, my dear, you tried to get me to like them for years. Sometimes I am a slow learner. Oh, and stubborn.
