Backyard Negronis: A Video

Sometimes it's fun to change things up, and this week my friends and I made a video! This ties in with previously posted classic cocktails such as The French 75, The Avenue and The Bloody Mary - and now The Negroni joins the party.
We had loads of fun making this and even more fun drinking the finished product. 
Thanks guys for a fun afternoon and Bowie and Peaches for all the amazing editing.
Oh, and I almost forgot! The Littlest Anchovy turns two this Wednesday!




Backyard Negronis

Traditionally this drink does not contain Angostura Bitters, but I added it and loved the taste - so it stayed.

1 part Campari 30 ml
1 part Gin 30 ml
1 part Sweet Red Vermouth 30 ml
Angostura Bitters (optional)
Orange peel as a garnish


Pour all ingredients into an ice-filled glass, stir and strain over ice in an old fashioned glass. Garnish with orange peel.

  6. I love me a Negroni now and then. The video was brilliant, and the soundtrack had me back in the 50s (although I barely remember them...). Great fun!
