Mention a Negroni to me, and I’ll try to get out of whatever I’m doing and meet you for one. I’m not alone on this obsession; there’s even an entire week dedicated to this Italian classic cocktail. Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, the Negroni is a serious cocktail that carefully balances slightly sweet with boldly bitter.
A traditional Negroni is stirred and served either “up” in a chilled coupe or on the rocks, but I’ve decided to give it a springtime twist: Negroni, meet blender.
