History
A Negroni variation. More gin and less liqueur and vermouth create an unusual bittersweet Martini.
This recipe was adapted from a creation by Gary "gaz" Regan, first appearing in his 2001 book, The Joy of Mixology, in February 1999. VALENTINO Though it is often said that Negroni ratios should not be altered, Mardee and this author did just that when developing this cocktail in February 1999. It was created for the Valentine's Day edition of the Ardent Spirits e-letter. While this modification seemed straightforward, the resulting drink is notably distinct from the Negroni. It is believed to be a fine illustration of how established recipes can be creatively adapted. 2 ounces gin ½ ounce Campari ½ ounce sweet vermouth 1 orange twist, for garnish STIR over ice and STRAIN into a chilled cocktail glass. Add the garnish. VALENTINO (VODKA) This is simply the vodka iteration of the Valentino. 2 ounces vodka ½ ounce Campari ½ ounce sweet vermouth 1 orange twist, for garnish STIR AND STRAIN into a chilled glass.
