April 24
My tenant Olivia made us cocktails tonight. I sat on my back porch and she sat in the Adirondack chair 6+ feet away. The evening was cool and refreshing, the cocktail was delicious, and I’m putting it here so I don’t forget.
The Negroni!
Stir equal parts Campari, gin, and sweet or semi-sweet vermouth in crushed ice. Strain the cocktail from the shaker into chilled highball glasses with ice in the glass. Garnish with a nice twist of orange peel. The double ice treatment keeps it nice and cold for sipping. Maybe they make all iced cocktails this way?
