Ingredients
-
1 oz London Dry Gin

1 oz Campari

1 oz Sweet Vermouth

Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Smoke the glass: Carefully ignite the tip of a fresh rosemary sprig using a lighter or kitchen torch. Once it's smoking well, place it on a fire-safe surface and invert your rocks glass over it to trap the smoke. Leave it for 30 seconds.
-
Mix the drink: While the glass is smoking, combine the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth in a separate mixing pitcher with ice. Stir for 20 seconds.
-
Pour: Flip your smoked glass over, add one large ice cube, and immediately strain the Negroni into the glass.
-
Garnish: Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary and a beautiful dehydrated orange slice tucked next to the ice.
💡 GND Pro-Tip: The smoky, piney aroma of the rosemary needs a sweet, bright contrast. A GND dehydrated Orange Slice is essential here; it provides that classic Negroni citrus profile while looking much more refined than a standard fresh peel. 👉 Shop GND Orange Slices
