I'm out of the loop, no alcohol since 1983, so I looked it up. ;)
I was a vodka martini or a good red wine drinker mostly.
A Negroni is an Italian cocktail, made of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel. It is considered an apéritif. A traditionally made Negroni is stirred, not shaken; it is built over ice in an old-fashioned or rocks glass and garnished with a slice of orange.
