Spumante Molto Rosso Recipe

The Negroni is one of the great co*cktails, and it's simple: equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and the bittersweet Italian aperitivo Campari. This co*cktail, a twist on that classic, aims to provide an easy introduction to Campari. Cranberry-infused gin complements Campari's bitter bite, which is smoothed out by the lime, sugar, and fruity prosecco. Roll the soaked cranberries in sugar and skewer on co*cktail picks for a pretty garnish.

In New York, it's common to name stirred rye co*cktails after neighborhoods. This one is named for a historic neighborhood in Atlanta, the city where mixologist Kellie Thorn lives. You'll make more infused whiskey than you need for this co*cktail--a good thing, as it's a delicious winter sipper.
