New London Negronino

We celebrated the end of September by taking the train in to the city for a long weekend, enjoyed perfect weather and Midtown adventures (adventures that featured a great cast, including 'The Hotel Clerk Who Thinks That DP Is A Secret Service Agent' and 'The Woman Who Claimed To Have An OpenTable Reservation But Probably Did Not'), and returned to a gray and rainy Connecticut. One big bonus: the leaves are starting to turn, and the red and gold is already flaming outside our windows.

So it's definitely Autumn in our part of the world, but I'm not ready to let Summer go just yet. Mostly because I need to catch up on some of our Summer cocktails. 

Like our very first cocktail in New London, the Negronino!

Ingredients:

4 parts Amaro Nonino
2 parts Campari
5 parts Gin
5 parts Sweet Vermouth (go ahead, use the Carpano Antica, even if you have to go to New Haven to replenish your supply...  You can stop at Trader Joe's and LL Bean while you're in the neighborhood)

Directions:

Stir with ice and serve over an enormous ice cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Enjoy on your front porch while recovering from unpacking your newly arrived POD.
I know it's been less than three months, but it already feels like a million years ago.

  1. Look at you, train-riders now! :) I love that you're getting into the city - I hope we can meet up there soon... (I'm very jealous of the fall weather. We have little tiny tastes of fall, then it gets hot again.)

  2. Let's do it! And I think you're the ones having glorious fall weather today. Enjoy it, and think of us up here in the rain...
