Randy,
We've drunk together. You know I only like a sip or two of something very light and not terribly alcoholic -- preferably with cherries, orange slices and umbrellas.
What's your recipe for the perfect Negroni? I know you're into them.
Mine's a long shot of a gin with a lot of juniper varietal like Beef or Tanq. A long shot of Campari. A short shot of sweet vermouth, like Noilly. God help me, I like Martini & Rossi even though I know better. I like to shake, rather than stir. So shake until too cold to hold, strain into a stemmed cocktail glass, splash with ice cold soda, and garnish with an orange peel twist. Or if you can tolerate it, a slice on the rim. A wise man once said, "A cocktail without a vegetable is no cocktail at all."
But he was somewhat pixillated at the time,
