The folks at Cipriani Drinks offer some of their best tips for making the perfect Negroni. First, when possible, use a short Tumbler glass, the go-to choose of mixologists. If you prefer your drinks on the rocks, fill the glass ¾ way full of ice. To be able to mix every ingredient to perfection, use a jigger and build in order: first the gin, then the vermouth and lastly, the bitter liqueur. Gently stir the ingredients. ideally with a stirrer, for optimal results. Add a slice of fresh cut orange to the glass. Serve.
