Cocktail Description

The Gin & It transforms the classic Negroni template into something brighter and more accessible, with orange notes taking center stage in this sophisticated sipper.

This cocktail balances the botanical punch of Beefeater gin with the rich, herbal sweetness of Martini & Rossi Rosso, while orange bitters provide a citrus backbone that ties everything together. The result is a medium-bodied cocktail with notes of juniper, warm spice, and bright citrus that evolves as it dilutes over ice. Perfect for early evening gatherings or as a digestif after dinner, the Gin & It works equally well during cooler months when its warming spice notes shine or summer evenings when its citrus character refreshes. Even novice home bartenders will find this straightforward stirred cocktail manageable to prepare, requiring just three ingredients and basic mixing techniques. Pair it with savory appetizers like Spanish tapas, charcuterie boards, or aged cheeses that complement its complex herbal profile and citrus brightness.
