Hey, I'm Jocelyn, and this is my dear friend Sandra, and today we are going to make a Negroni, yeah
0:05
Yes, one of the all-time classic cocktails. So this is a very, very simple one because it's the same proportions
0:12
We're going to use gin, and I'm just going to start with an ounce and finish with an ounce, frankly
0:19
I was thinking you're going to start middle and end with an ounce of everything, yeah
0:24
I am, and I've got ice here in my mixing glass. and so we're just gonna this is like a stir drink this is stir right that's right nice and easy we
0:34
have campari which is a bitter orange um if you are not familiar with campari it's going to surprise
0:40
you when you first drink it so i think for some a little bit of an acquired taste but definitely
0:45
but once you learn to love it you're gonna love it and i have to say that um because of where we
0:52
spend a lot of time in Italy, I drink a lot more Aperol, which is a similar bitter orange thing
0:58
but it's not as strong. It's not as bitter as the Campari. So sometimes for me, Campari is just a
1:05
little bit much, and I actually substitute Aperol occasionally. Yeah, you can totally do that. But
1:11
this is the traditional way. I'm not advocating that you do that. Right. The purists out there
1:16
are going to be screaming at the screen right now. I finished that with another, so it was one ounce
1:22
one ounce of sweet vermouth at the end. Please do not substitute white dry vermouth
1:28
because you're not gonna like it. So horrible. And really all you trying to do is chill Never do this Okay so Okay Yes So I think this was this was not invented by a count or something
1:46
Is that right? Am I remembering? I think that that is the. That's right
1:50
And I think he was trying to up, up the ante on the Americano by adding gin
1:55
You just needed a little more oomph to it or something maybe. Yeah. So I'm glad you brought up the Americano
2:00
The Americano, the Boulevardier, and the Negroni are very, very closely related cocktails, similar ingredients
2:07
This is almost identical, actually, to a Goulardier, because the Goulardier has bourbon and a little bit higher ratio
2:13
but other than that, it's really kind of the same drink. But obviously, gin and bourbon make it completely two different drinks
2:20
Obviously, very different drink, right? So I have here, like, a nice, thick, wide, kind of rough
2:25
that's how I like to cut them, for this drink anyway, a thing of orange, and I just spritz it in there a little bit
2:32
and drop it in. Thank you very much. Very important. Don't leave out your orange peel
2:36
It gives a lot of... It's all about the nose, and the nose is all about the taste
2:40
and they're unnecessary, right? It's not bad, and you know how I feel about gin
2:50
but it kind of... These two things being so, like, one is sweet, one is fruity, that gin with that juniper
2:57
kind of thing back on it, it just kind of bounces. I don't know, it adds like a vivacity that the others are like more mellow
3:06
I kind of like it. Oh my gosh, we found a gin drink I kind of like
3:11
So y'all try a Negroni and salute. Salute
