Killer New Year's Eve Cocktail: Aperol Negroni
Looking for some delicious and festive cocktails to mix for your New Year's Eve party? Try this Patch favorite!
—By Patch Staff
To my mind, the classic Negroni is a nearly perfect cocktail, but it's also a perfect example of the situation I described above. It's a little too serious for the occasion. With less alcohol and less bitter astringency than the traditional Campari, Aperol brings in sweeter, brighter notes. The Aperol Negroni takes a beautiful, yet familiar, old friend, and slips her into something a little more comfortable.
- 1 oz gin
- 1 oz sweet vermouth
- 1 oz Aperol
Combine all ingredients in an ice filled mixing glass. Stir until the glass is cold in your hand. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a strip of orange peel by rubbing the peel pith side up along the rim of the glass then dropping it pith side down into the glass.
Salud! Happy New Year!
