What is the bartender tip for a Negroni?

The IBA builds it in the glass: 30 ml of each, ice, and a short stir. For more control over dilution, stir in a mixing glass and serve over fresh ice — one big cube holds the bitterness without going flat. Keep opened sweet vermouth in the fridge; old vermouth makes the drink cloying. A London Dry stands up to Campari; a very citrusy gin disappears. If the 1:1:1 feels too heavy, try the Balanced Negroni, with more gin and less bitter.
