Holiday Negroni Cocktail
A festive cocktail featuring gin and seasonal ingredients, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Equipment
- Mixing glass – This is what I use to stir everything with ice.
- Rocks glass – Where the Negroni lands, of course.
- Bar spoon – Helps me stir without turning the drink watery.
- Hawthorne strainer – I throw this over the mixing glass to strain.
- Jigger – Makes measuring easy, and you really want balance here.
- Citrus peeler – For a clean orange peel; I hate when I get too much pith.
