It doesn’t get much easier than this: equal measures of three ingredients to make these six fantastic cocktails from only eight bottles – and now I have an excuse to make a new Venn Diagram (here is last week’s).
Stir ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass or an old fashioned glass with a big cube of ice. Garnish with an orange twist.
- Bijou: 1 ounce Green Chartreuse, 1 ounce gin, 1 ounce sweet vermouth, dash of orange bitters
- Boulevardier: 1 ounce bourbon, 1 ounce Campari, 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- Contessa: 1 ounce Aperol, 1 ounce gin, 1 ounce dry vermouth
- Dry Negroni: 1 ounce Campari, 1 ounce gin, 1 ounce dry vermouth
- Negroni: 1 ounce Campari, 1 ounce gin, 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- Old Pal: 1 ounce Campari, 1 ounce rye, 1 ounce dry vermouth
Love this — Especially as my (grown) son and I explore the aspects of affordable cocktail creation.
