The Negroni, a popular Italian cocktail, has made a serious comebackand we cant get enough of it.
Traditionally, this punchy, bitter cocktail is made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari.
The result is a very merry and delicious, crowd-pleasing holiday cocktail.

We like to garnish each glass with a strip of orange zest and whole star anise.
Serving it over extra-large ice cubes will make it look like it came straight from the hottest cocktail bar.
Using a Y-shaped peeler, remove zest from half of one orange and add to the jar.
Add spices to the jar with the Campari and zest.
Seal with the lid, shake, and let sit at room temperature overnight.
Strain; discard solids.
For each drink, mix 1 oz.
infused Campari, 1 oz.
gin, and 1 oz.
Garnish with orange zest and star anise.
