Quick Steps

Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes.

Tips

👉 Storage: Best served fresh for the perfect chill and balance.

👉 Serving: Use large ice cubes to slow dilution and keep the drink bold. Garnish with an orange slice for extra flair if desired.

👉 Substitutions: Try a lemon zest garnish for a brighter citrus note, or use prosecco instead of gin for a Negroni Sbagliato.

👉 Dilution Tip: Adjust stirring time to control the strength—less for a stronger drink, more for a smoother sip.
