    [Negroni](https://theperfectdrink.org/?p=331)

    Yield: 1 Cocktail
    ***Ingredients***

    * Bombay Sapphire Gin (or your favorite dry Gin)
    * Compari
    * Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth
    * Orange (citrus oils and garnish)

    ***Tools***

    * Oxo two-sided shot glass/jigger
    * Large Ice Cube Form
    * Double Rocks Glass
    * Oxo Cocktail strainer
    * Mixing Glass
    * Mixing spoon

    Directions

    1. Make sure you have a large ice cube (square or round) available for cocktail.
    Place ice cube into double rocks glass.
    2. Take an orange slice and carefully remove rind and set aside. Squeeze 5 or so drops of orange juice over the ice cube from the fruit you removed from the rind.
    3. Fill mixing glass with ice and then add ingredients for one cocktail.

    * Bombay Sapphire Gin – 1oz
    * Compari – 1 oz
    * Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth – 1 oz

    4. Stir cocktail until very cold (30 – 45 seconds minimum)
    5. Strain drink using oxo cocktail strainer (liquid only) into double rocks glass that has a single large ice cube (round or square)
    6. Take a slice of orange peel and squeeze several times into the top of glass (orange side facing the drink) to release the citrus oils. This minor act makes a world of difference to the character and flavor of the cocktail. Then garnish by dropping the squeezed orange peel into the cocktail (or make a fancier version with an orange peel – see picture)
