“The Negroni,” says Julie Reiner, “is one of the most perfect cocktails ever created—and probably the drink I make for myself more often than anything else at home.” Although the classic version is made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, Reiner likes it “boozier,” with a bit more gin.
