The Tunnel Cocktail
A riff on the 3-ingredient formula of a Negroni, Franck uses Campari for its incomparable bitterness, Noilly Prat dry vermouth for a little oaky flavor, and Punt e Mes Italian vermouth, which falls largely in the herbaceous camp with a sly amount of bitter, too. Another dry vermouth can be used in place of the Noilly Prat, and for the Punt e Mes, another sweet red vermouth could fill in.
Servings 1 cocktail
- 1 ounce gin
- 1 ounce dry French vermouth,, preferably Noilly Prat
- 3/4 ounce Campari, or a similar red aperitivo such as Cappeletti, Bruto Americano, or Forthave aperitivo
- 1/4 ounce sweet vermouth, preferably Punt e Mes
- orange or grapefruit twist
- Put all the ingredients in a cocktail mixing glass. Fill the mixing glass two-thirds full of ice and stir briskly until well-chilled, about 15 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with grapefruit or orange twist
