About negroni

Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, stirred with ice and served over a large cube, garnished with an orange peel. It's bitter and strong, with almost no sweetness to soften it.

What cooks argue about

The equal-parts ratio is standard, but cooks argue over stirring time, since more ice contact softens Campari's bitterness while a quicker stir keeps the drink sharper. Orange peel versus slice is a smaller fight.
