The Negroni cocktail is named after the Italian Count Camillo Negroni, who invented it. Traditionally, the drink consists of gin, sweet vermouth, and orange bitters, garnished with an orange slice. It's typically enjoyed as an aperitif. At a barbecue party, you can make a slightly more exotic version of the cocktail. Try chef Mark Murphy's recipe for a thoroughly grilled whole orange, slice it, and garnish the Negroni. This will give this drink, a favorite primarily of the stronger sex, an even more masculine twist.

Ingredients:

• 1 orange
• 45 ml of gin, such as Bombay Sapphire
• 30 ml sweet vermouth
• 15 ml orange bitters, such as Aperol
