How to Make the Perfect Negroni.

In my opinion every girl (or guy!) should have a signature cocktail. Something you can easily whip up to impress your friends when you have company over. Wine and beer are great of course, but it just feels a bit more special to be able to offer friends a cocktail. My favorite cocktail to make is a negroni. It’s bitter, it’s sweet… it’s strong… it’s delicious! It’s also very hard to mess up. With just three ingredients (equal parts gin, campari, sweet vermouth) it is definitely a staple in my cocktail arsenal. I always make sure to have all three ingredients on my cocktail bar.

Watch the video below and for bonus points, keep your glasses in the freezer and use a giant ice cube mold! Also! If you want to make it a spritz (a little less boozy) you can add a couple ounces of soda water.
