Negroni with a Dehydrated Blood Orange Wheel

The negroni is equal parts, no shaking and no fuss, which makes it the perfect place to let a garnish shine. A dehydrated blood orange wheel matches the drink's deep red colour and adds a gentle bitter-orange aroma that suits Campari perfectly.

What you need

• 30 ml (1 oz) gin
• 30 ml (1 oz) Campari
• 30 ml (1 oz) sweet vermouth
• 1 large ice cube
• 1 dehydrated blood orange wheel

How to make it

1. Add the gin, Campari and sweet vermouth to a mixing glass with ice.
2. Stir for about 20 seconds until chilled.
3. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
4. Set a dehydrated blood orange wheel on top of the ice.

The garnish

Blood orange wheels are the showpiece of the citrus range: the colour is the fruit itself, not a dye. Keep the pouch out of direct light, because that ruby colour is the first thing to fade.

Get Dehydrated Blood Orange Slices, or pair them with classic orange in the Orange & Blood Orange Mix.

Try a spritz

The same wheel works in an Aperol spritz: prosecco, Aperol and a splash of soda over ice, finished with blood orange.

Drink responsibly. For a zero-proof version, the same wheel works beautifully in sparkling water or iced tea.
