One of the first cocktails I ever learned to make was the Negroni, as it is my mom’s favorite adult beverage and deep down, we just wanna make our mamas proud. Naturally, it has also become a favorite drink of mine, so let’s talk about it! Ah, the Negroni. Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Stir these ingredients together gently in a rocks glass (or red Solo cup if you must) with a large ice cube and garnish it with an orange peel and there you have it folks: the classic Negroni. Of course, we all have different takes on said drink and as Negroni Week approaches, let us celebrate the crisp temps and crispy leaves (and apple crisps) that fall has to offer. Plus, Negroni Week helps raise money for the Slow Food movement, a global initiative that aims to create “a world in which all people can access and enjoy foods and beverages that are good for them, good for the people who produce them, and good for the planet” (Negroni Week). Head to any of these incredible restaurants and bars to celebrate the Negroni and help out a great cause! Cheers.
