It's Negroni week, so Thirsty Thursday calls for a special cocktail. I find someone close to me doesn't always appreciate a Negroni. If you have someone similar in life, expand your mind. Today's post creates the perfect pair. Time to tip one. Mr. Negroni and Mrs. Contessa. #cocktails 🍸🍹 

Mr. Negroni

  • 1 oz Gin (Hendricks here)
  • 1 oz Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi de Torino)
  • 1 oz Campari
  • 4 dashes Orange Bitters
  • Orange twist for Garnish 

Mrs. Contessa

  • 1 oz Gin (Hendricks here)
  • 1 oz Dry Vermouth (Carpano)
  • 1 oz Aperol
  • 4 dashes Orange Bitters
  • Orange twist for Garnish 
All into a mixing glass with ice. Stir till chilled and out into a rocks glass with "hand-crafted" ice. Garnish and toast the Mr or Mrs.
