Negroni - a perfect in-transit, DIY cocktail
Who says air travel can’t be done in style anymore? Faced with a 3-5 hour delay at Montreal airport (that pesky volcano out of Iceland again) - I bought entry to one of those airport lounges ($30 - with the promise of being able to catch the big hockey match). Getting ready to settle down in front of the screen I walked up to the DIY bar and surveyed the options: Martini Rosso, Campari, Bombay Sapphire Gin, a bucket of ice and garnishes - and an assortment of bar snacks. Who could ask for anything more?
This is the easiest of cocktails to assemble: Fill a tumbler with ice, now add 25ml each of Bombay Sapphire Gin, Campari and Sweet Vermouth. Normally the Negroni is garnished with a piece of orange peel which has been singed slightly but a slice of lemon will also do.
