What is the bartender tip for a Balanced Negroni?
The equal-parts classic Negroni often ends up too bitter and too sweet; here the balance follows the Boulevardier's logic and puts the spirit first. With 50 ml of gin against 20 ml of Campari and 15 ml of red vermouth, the drink is stronger and pinker. Gin quality matters — BEG, an award-winning Brazilian gin, has the body to carry a stirred drink. The orange peel on the rim and in the glass is essential.
