Negroni with a Twist by Laurel Dailey

Course 1 - The Classic Negroni, with a twist...cap

We started the dinner out with a classic aperitif: 1 part campari, 1 part sweet vermouth, 1 part gin. To this we added .5 parts biscotti liquer, a squeeze of lemon and orange, and topped it off with seltzer water. Each cocktail was served with two tea candles, the zest of an orange, and a flute filled with sphere shaped ice cubes. Posey lit each guest's candles and instructed them to char their own zest and pour their cocktail as they wanted it from the squeeze-it container. Check out how it went over after the jump.
