Cynar Negroni
Equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and Cynar, stirred and served on the rocks.
Go to the recipe ↓Both recipes here use equal measures of gin, sweet vermouth and Cynar, and both call for about 30 seconds of stirring with ice. Barrelling Tide specifies sweet or semi-sweet red vermouth; Steve the Bartender lists sweet vermouth. The real choice is equipment and garnish. Barrelling Tide stirs in a mixing glass, strains over fresh ice and finishes with lemon peel. Steve the Bartender builds and stirs in the serving glass and finishes with an orange twist.

Mixing glass or serving glass
The two versions share a 1:1:1 ratio, though not identical volumes: Barrelling Tide measures 1 oz of each, Steve the Bartender 30 mL, and 30 mL is slightly more than 1 US fluid ounce. Barrelling Tide's method uses two batches of ice: one for stirring, discarded with the mixing glass, and a fresh glassful to serve over. Steve's build needs only the glass and one round of ice.
