The Woodstock Gin Rosemary and Orange Negroni
One of the Cocktails the Italians are famous for is the Classic Negroni, made of one part gin, one part vermouth Rosso and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel. It is considered an aperitivo. Styling by HighTea.
A traditionally made Negroni is stirred, not shaken; it is built over ice in an old-fashioned or rocks glass and garnished with a slice of orange. We've added a rosemary stick to bring out the Woodstock Flavours.
