Negroni
Gin meets Campari
A Negroni is a cocktail made with equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, typically served over ice and garnished with an orange peel.
The drink is known for its bitter, complex flavor profile: I'll have a Negroni.
A popular variation, the Negroni Sbagliato, substitutes sparkling wine for gin.
