Negroni: the original recipe for the cult Italian cocktail

Three ounces of Italian precision


There are cocktails that we consume, and others that we experience like an era.
The Negroni, born in Florence in the 1920s, does not seek to seduce: it imposes calm.


Three ingredients. Three equal measures.
An elegant bitterness, a dense red. And a large ice cube that slows the world down.


Serve it in a low glass, shaped to hold the weight of the moment.
Add a slice of orange. And wait a few seconds.


It's not an aperitif. It's a ritual.

Negroni recipe

to savor slowly

Ingredients for a classic Negroni

  • 1 oz of gin
  • 1 oz red vermouth (sweet)
  • 1 oz of Campari
  • Ice cubes (ideally one large cube)
  • Orange zest or half-slice, for the finishing touch

The recipe (simple and exact)

  1. Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice cubes (or one large cube).
  2. Pour the 3 alcohols in equal parts.
  3. Stir gently with a spoon.
  4. Garnish with a twist of orange zest squeezed over the glass, or a thin slice.

Do not shake. Do not dilute. Just there, on ice.

The secret to a successful Negroni: time

Serve it, then wait.

Let the ice melt slightly. Observe the color. Inhale the bitterness. This is a cocktail for those who don't run. Who know that taste comes with patience.

A Negroni is never rushed. It is delivered slowly. Like anything worthwhile. For those who choose calm, the right weight, and invisible elegance.

What glass should I use to serve a Negroni?

Which glass to serve a Negroni in? The Negroni is best served in a low, heavy, stable glass —
An "Old Fashioned" type whiskey glass.

A glass with presence. A thick base. An object that sits comfortably in the hand, like a style statement.

At Sur mon X , we have chosen a cut crystal tumbler, designed to magnify the ruby color and reveal the gravity of the gesture.


But most importantly, designed specifically for serving neat spirits over ice - and for creating classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned, Negroni or a White Russian.
