Beautiful and elegant in its simplicity, a negroni is one of the easiest cocktails to make. It uses a simple 1:1:1 ingredient ratio –  a bitter-sweet mix of Italian Campari, vermouth and gin. Because there’s only three ingredients, you want to invest in high quality spirits.

In this recipe, we’re bringing you a twist on this classic cocktail with our Pinot Noir Gin. A slightly sweeter gin made in the vein of a “Sloe” style, it perfectly balances the aromatics and sweetness of the pinot noir grapes with dry gin characteristics.

Here's how to make it:

1. Add the Pinot Noir gin, Campari and sweet vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir until well-chilled - about 30 seconds or so.
2. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Rub an orange wedge around the rim to impart flavour.
3. Garnish with an orange wedge and/or orange peel twist. 
4. Enjoy!
