How much Negroni for 6 people — exact measures?
Exact Negroni measures scaled for your guest count — ml per ingredient and short procedure.
Quick answer
Hosting 6 guests? One Negroni per person scales cleanly: dose × number of drinks. Base recipe (30 ml Gin · 30 ml Campari · 30 ml Sweet red vermouth) × 6 = 180 ml gin + 180 ml Campari + 180 ml vermouth plus ice per glass. Use the party buttons for 10 or 20 — the pain point is batch math before a summer terrace, not memorising IBA ratios.

How it works
| Ingredient | Per glass | For 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Gin | 30 ml | 180 ml |
| Campari | 30 ml | 180 ml |
| Sweet red vermouth | 30 ml | 180 ml |
| Orange peel | 1 twist | 6 twist |
Classic 1:1:1 gin : Campari : sweet vermouth — stirred with ice, strained over a fresh cube. Spirit-forward; no soda. Express orange peel oils over the drink. Batch gin + Campari + vermouth in a bottle up to 24 h refrigerated; pour over ice per glass.
Stirred drinks need tools: old fashioned whiskey glasses, cocktail jigger, cocktail mixing glass, and a bar spoon cocktail. Buy gin, Campari and vermouth locally — we do not affiliate spirits.
It is stirred, never shaken. Three spirits with no citrus and no sugar have nothing to emulsify, so the shaker only over-dilutes them and leaves the drink cloudy. Twenty seconds with a bar spoon over plenty of ice is enough. The orange peel goes in twisted over the surface first — the oil is in the skin, not in the juice.
