Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker

Ingredients

  • lemon wedge

  • ounces Tanqueray or other dry gin
  • 1 ounce sweet vermouth
  • 1 ounce 100% cranberry juice
  • ½ ounces Campari
  • fresh cranberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Make a sugared rim glass by rubbing the lemon wedge lightly around the outside of a lowball glass. Then rub the outside of the rim in a plate of sugar. Tap the glass lightly while it is upside down to knock any loose sugar back onto the plate.

  • Garnish with the cranberries.

Notes

The Negroni is typically a stirred cocktail. However, with the addition of cranberry juice, shaking with ice becomes the better dilution method when making one or two cocktails.
This cranberry Negroni can also be served straight up in a chilled glass.
