I love negronis, and am planning to make them for a party soon, so it got me wondering - any suggestions for what gin might work best in a negroni? I wish I could afford to do my own taste testing, but sadly I don't have the budget.

His gin of choice is Bombay Sapphire, but for some reason, he enjoys the Tanqueray in the green bottle for Negroni's. Don't forget the orange slice!!!!

These are two very different cocktails, yet I find both to be appropriate.

Many thanks, David Sat May 10 13:34:31 -0700 2003 1599113 0 David 2 1599177 Equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. Garnish with an orange wheel or lemon twist. I don't think we have a gin preference in our household, but we generally make them with Tanqueray. Cheers, Xochitl10 Sat May 10 18:17:11 -0700 2003 1599167 0 Xochitl10 3 1599190 Equal parts is the standard recipe, but I tend to find it a bit too sweet. I definitely would skimp on the sweet vermouth; some people even make negronis with 3 parts gin, 2 parts Campari, 1 part sweet vermouth which I like too. Experiment! Shake with ice.
