the perfect negroni?

the perfect negroni?
one of the simplest drinks to make is a negroni. or any drink with such an assertive liquor as campari.

don't write this down, either. most of you kids can do this from memory. or lack of memory once you drink you share of these classic mind blotters.

here we go:
in a small cocktail shaker, fill with ice,
add 1/3 good gin
1/3 sweet vermouth
1/3 campari
stir and strain into a chilled martini glass.
it is a good aperitif, as well as a digestif. how could that be?
well, it would do you
well to eat soon
after your first, and
well
follow your food with a third.

you know,it's one of those cocktails.
mischievious. delicious. especially once you get the hang of it.
and most of all,
it's easy to
make a perfect negroni.

________________
negroni is one of the first ( and few) cocktails i ever learned to mix as a bar owner/part time bartender.
a few folk still ask for it.
i won't argue with their palates; i do mix a memorable negroni.
if you're fond of campari, write me.
