And when I asked Giada De Laurentiis about her favorite sipper, she didn’t hesitate: “A Negroni!” (And, yes, she’s a fan of Tucci’s version, too.)
What Is in a Negroni?
A classic Negroni is made with 1 ounce each of gin, Campari and sweet vermouth, stirred in an ice-filled mixing glass, then strained into an ice-filled rocks glass and garnished with an orange peel or slice.
How Does a Negroni Taste?
If you’re not a fan of super-sweet sippers, the Negroni is for you. Campari is an Italian liqueur that’s bitter, spicy and subtly sweet.
