Stanley Tucci-Inspired Negroni

This Negroni is a classic cocktail made by stirring bitter, herbal Campari, rich sweet vermouth, and aromatic gin with ice, then garnished with a lemon twist. The final drink has a deep amber hue, a smooth texture, and a balanced blend of bitter, sweet, and citrus flavors that feels warm and inviting.
