Notes

For an optimal Cold Brew Negroni, precise measurement with a jigger is crucial to balance the bitterness of Campari and cold brew with gin's botanicals and vermouth's sweetness. Stirring thoroughly in a mixing glass with ample ice ensures proper dilution and chilling without over-aeration. Always use high-quality cold brew; a robust, low-acidity brew complements the spirits best. Garnish with a fresh orange peel, expressed over the drink, to release aromatic oils that enhance the cocktail's complexity. A large, clear ice cube in the serving glass minimizes dilution and keeps the drink cold longer.
