Negroni
Alberta's number one favorite gin cocktails of all time! It's hard to make right even though it includes very basic ingredients: gin, campari, and vermouth. Alberta will let you in on the no-so-secret method that will make this drink a winner should you choose to whip it up.

Flighty's equal parts recipe is great. My various bar books are all over the place with proportions. This works the best.
Regarding bartenders' fear of vermouth--there might be two reasons. First, the trend for ever-dryer martinis may lead newbies to believe that vermouth is somehow undesirable or "bad." And, since vermouth is a wine, the way most bars store opened bottles at room temperature leads to an infrequently used bottle going sour. This sour taste reenforces the image that vermouth is bad among newbies who've never had it as intended. Any other thoughts on the prejudice against vermouth?

It can be served either way, but it's most commonly done in a cocktail glass.
As long as she's making it in a way that the customers like, authenticity is of little importance.
An authentic Negroni is made on the rocks - not in a cocktail glass!
And there are also discussions to float the gin...
Cheers!

I think the bitters allows Alberta to add that kick of orange that the flamed orange peel would have without being a fire hazard. That's a pretty good idea. I will compare and contrast for myself. You're a lot of fun to watch!
You forgot to flame the orange peel.
I look forward to the vermouth episode.
I'd like to see more "Flighty" cocktials or "Flighty" twists.
Keep on keepin' on
