Negroni
This is the classic Negroni cocktail, with a slight tweak: instead of using equal parts of all three ingredients, the gin is increased, making the drink less syrupy-sweet.

Notes
In my version of a classic Negroni, I increased the gin and cut back a little on the Campari and sweet vermouth. This reduces the sweetness and lets the gin shine through a little more. The classic recipe, with equal parts, is delicious but a little too sweet for my palate. Try mixing up the proportions and see what you like the best!
